Claim:
1. An apparatus for fluid partitioning for chemical amplification or other chemical processing or separations of a sample, comprising: a first dispenser of a first polymeric sheet; a second dispenser of a second polymeric sheet wherein said first dispenser and said second dispenser are positioned so that said first polymeric sheet and said second polymeric sheet become parallel; a dispenser of the sample positioned to dispense the sample between said first polymeric sheet and said second polymeric sheet; and a seal unit that seals said first polymeric sheet and said second polymeric sheet together thereby sealing the sample between said first polymeric sheet and said second polymeric sheet and partitioning the sample for chemical amplification or other chemical processing or separations, further comprising a chip for producing a magnetic field on said first polymeric sheet forming the sample into milli- to pico-liter-droplets oriented into a grid array.
