A sampler (10) having multiple miniature sample compartments (15) for containing several samples (40) and an in-line continuous motion method of making such multiple miniature sample compartments (15). The sampler (10) includes a base ply (20), at least one top ply (30) sealed to the base ply (20) to form a plurality of hermetically sealed compartments (15), wherein each compartment (15) contains a sample deposit (40). The method involves adjusting the rheology of the sample material so that the sample material ma y be cleanly separated into individual deposits (40) which are dispensed in close proximity on a moving web. The same equipment may be used in the prese nt method to dispense sample materials having various viscosities while avoidin g splattering and spreading.
