Abstract:
1. A device for application of liquid sample on a membrane, comprising a base: a reservoir having an open end a main body and an end opposite the open end having a capillary opening, wherein the open end is adapted to receive liquid samples; a frame for securing the membrane for application of the liquid samples, said frame positionable within said base; and a reservoir-rack positionable within said base, said reservoir-rack for positioning said reservoir above the membrane surface such that the capillary opening of the reservoir touches and contacts the membrane, wherein said reservoir-rack has an asymmetrical pattern of positions into which the reservoir can be placed and wherein said reservoir-rack is movable and said base is provided with a means to position the reservoir-rack on said frame by at least two alternative ways producing two alternative footprints and point of contacts on the membrane below for each reservoir position on the reservoir-rack.
