Claim:
1. A system for extracting material from a region of interest, comprising: a fluid delivery base; a first channel within the fluid delivery base and open to a first channel end at a sample-facing surface of the fluid delivery base, wherein the first channel comprises a first channel opening configured to couple to a fluid inlet to fluidically couple the fluid inlet to the first channel end; a second channel within the fluid delivery base and terminating at a second channel end at the sample-facing surface of the fluid delivery base, wherein the second channel comprises a second channel opening configured to couple to a fluid outlet to fluidically couple the fluid outlet to the second channel end; an adaptor coupled to the first channel opening and the second channel opening, wherein the adaptor comprises an interior channel that couples the first channel end to the fluid inlet; a gasket coupled to the sample-facing surface and comprising a gasket opening aligned with an area of the sample-facing surface comprising the first channel end and the second channel end; a support comprising a sample-supporting surface configured to hold a sample against the gasket and an opposing surface; and an alignment member coupled to the opposing surface, wherein the fluid delivery base is separable from the support and configured to move along a plane of the sample-supporting surface to align with the alignment member.
