Abstract:
1. A sample arraying/assembling device comprising: a distributing section which is capable of holding respective solutions containing samples to be distributed, the distributing section comprising a plurality of holding ends arranged in a predetermined matrix, the matrix comprising: a wound body comprising: wherein parallel-spaced portions of the foundation member are arranged on the plane surface of the wound body and are spaced in a parallel relation on the plane surface at winding intervals corresponding to the predetermined second spacing intervals of the lines of the matrix; wherein the number of parallel-spaced portions of the foundation member equals the number of lines in the matrix; wherein the holding ends of the distributing section can come into contact with the foundation member in response to relative movement between the distributing section and the wound body in a third direction, the third direction being perpendicular to each of the first and second directions; and wherein, in response to the relative movement between the distributing section and the wound body in the third direction and the resulting contact of the holding ends with the foundation member, the distributing section distributes the samples along each of the parallel-spaced portions of the foundation member, the distributed samples being spaced at intervals corresponding to the predetermined first spacing intervals of the columns of the matrix.
