Apparatus for liquid sample handling comprises: <SL> <LI>(a) a plurality of hollow capillaries, each being open at both ends and of defined internal volume, wherein on contact of an open end of a capillary with a sample, said defined volume of sample is drawn up into the capillary by capillary action; <LI>(b) a housing which retains the capillaries in their desired orientation; and optionally <LI>(c) means to effect sample removal from the capillaries. </SL> The capillaries may be in a row or array. Sample removal may be via pressure application. The capillaries may be surface treated. |
