Abstract:
A device and method are proved for transferring a target from a first location to a second location. The target is bound to solid phase substrate to form a target bound solid phase substrate. The device includes transfer surface for receiving the target bound solid phase substrate thereon for transfer. The transfer surface movable between a first position wherein the transfer surface is aligned with the first location and spaced therefrom by a distance and a second position wherein the transfer surface is aligned with the second location. An alignment structure aligns the transfer surface with respect to the second location, with the transfer surface in the second position. A force is movable between an attraction position wherein the target bound solid phase substrate are drawn toward the transfer surface and a discharge position wherein the target bound solid phase substrate are free of the force.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1  wherein the step of forming the non-concave meniscus with the first fluid includes the additional step of depositing the first fluid in a sample container having a hydrophobic inner surface, the hydrophobic inner surface causing the first fluid in the sample container to have the non-concave meniscus.
