DEVICE FOR HOLDING HORIZONTAL ARRAY OF LIQUID ALIQUOTS A device for holding a horizontal array of discrete aliquots of treating liquid comprising: a) a horizontal1y-extending rigid base, b) a horizontally-extend1ng elastomeric member (or coating) on the horizontally-extending rigid base, the elastomeric member (or coating) having a substantially planar horizontallyextending upper surface, and c) a plurality of recesses formed in the elastomeric member (or coating), each recess opening to the horizontally-extending upper surface, the elastomeric member (or coating) having at its upper surface a material sufficiently incompatible with the treating liquid for a discrete aliquot of treating liquid in a recess to form a convex shape extending above the plane of the adjacent upper surface of the elastomeric member (or coating). In use, the liquid in a recess is contacted from above by a capillary gap such as between microscope slides and is drawn by capillary action out of the recess, which may extend completely through the elastomeric member or coating to the level of the rigid base. |
