device for the manufacture of mikromatrizen with the device in incremental stages mechanically set

摘要

A device for providing incremental translation in multiple directions, having a base plate (3), a first plate (1), a second plate (2) and means for translation, such as differentially spaced holes (4,5). When the device includes an optional separate applicator (8) with pins (6) for delivering a specimen to a surface (3d), such as a slide, the device can be used in a method for making microarrays.
