摘要 |
The present invention relates to a transfer device (1) for removing fluid samples (2) from containers (3) and for introducing these fluid samples (2) into chambers (5) positioned below these containers, the device (1) including an individual chamber (5', 5'') for each of the containers (3, 3'). Transfer devices (1) according to the present invention are distinguished in that they have enclosure means (4), which include one single individually assigned restriction opening (10), which limits the flow of fluids to be introduced into the containers (3, 3') or removed from the chambers (5, 5', 5''), for each container (3, 3') or for each chamber (5, 5', 5''). Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method of removing fluid samples (2) from containers (3) and of introducing these fluid samples (2) into chambers (5) positioned below these containers using such a transfer device (1). The device (1) may be used for individually immobilizing fluid samples (2) on MALDI-MS targets (21) and/or for collecting liquid samples in individual collection spaces (12).
