Abstract:
1. An apparatus for coating substrates capable of detecting one or more analytes in an affinity assay on a support, comprising: a liquid receptacle comprising a liquid receiving portion configured to receive a liquid to be atomized and a mist volume receiving portion configured to receive a mist volume generated from the liquid to be atomized, an actuator for inducing atomization of the liquid to be atomized in the liquid receiving portion, a support capable of receiving and storing the substrates in the mist volume receiving portion and not in contact with a surface of the liquid to be atomized, and a droplet precipitator positioned between the surface of the liquid to be atomized and the support, wherein the support is configured to expose at least a surface of the substrate facing away from the surface of the liquid to be atomized to the mist volume generated from the liquid to be atomized, and wherein at least a part of the mist volume receiving portion is above the surface of the liquid to be atomized and the surface of the substrate facing away from the surface of the liquid to be atomized.
