| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention provides systems and methods for transferring small volume liquid samples between plates with wells arranged in different configurations. The system comprises a plurality of movable arms (12) each of which is adapted to hold a fluid sample dispensing tube (14) with a distal end (15). The arms (12) are positionable to allow the distal ends (15) of the tubes (14) to simultaneously access the 96, 384, 1536, or 3456 wells (22) arranged in straight rows of the standard rectangular microtiter plate (20) to extract or aspirate the liquid from the wells (22). The arms are repositionable to allow the distal ends (15) of the tubes (14) to simultaneously access the wells (32) of a circular microchannel plate (MCP) (30) with wells (32) arranged in an arc for loading the wells (32).</p> |
