Title: Analyte solution droplet maker e.g. for manufacture of bio-chips uses container with base outlet and side projection applied with impact to support surface
Inventor: COLIN BRUNO
IPC: C40B60/14
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: Analyte solution droplet maker, is new. The analyte solution droplet maker procedure for applying separate droplets of a solution (2) containing at least one analyte on a support (6) uses a container (1) with an outlet (3) in its base and a side projection which extends below the level of the container base. The outlet is of a size which does not allow the solution to flow out by gravity when the container is at rest, i.e. preferably between 25 and 250 mcm in diameter, and a droplet is made by positioning the container above the support and tapping its projection against the support with sufficient impact to cause a droplet of the solution to fall onto the support from the outlet, passing through air on the way. Two or more containers can be fastened together to allow a number of separate droplets to be made at the same time.
