Abstract
The present device is directed to a reagent transfer device for transferring a plurality of reagent samples from one location to another. A transfer plate has a top surface with reservoirs, a bottom surface with orifices, and channels connecting the reservoirs and orifices. Fluid is moved from the reservoirs, through the channels and out of the orifices to form samples on the bottom surface about the orifices. A movement apparatus is provided for bringing the samples into contact with deposit surfaces at various deposition positions. Arrays of at least 100 orifices per square centimeter are provided.
