  • Apparatuses, Systems and Methods for the Attachment of Substrates to Supports with Light Curable Adhesives
    Publication number: 20120151746
    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses, systems and methods for attachment of substrates to supports. Disclosed are integrated pick-and-place curing apparatuses and systems and methods for using them. Integration of pick-and-place and curing functionalities provides higher efficiency and effectiveness compared to approaches which separate the two functions. Also disclosed are systems and methods for simultaneous attachment of a plurality of substrates to a support. Substrates include, within certain embodiments, arrays of biological polymers which are unaffected by the disclosed pick-and-place curing approaches.

  • Cryogenic apparatus
    Patent number: 5275016
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and devices for freezing drops of liquid reagent solution in a cryogenic liquid. In one embodiment, the apparatus of the present invention comprises means for dispensing uniform, precisely measured drops of a liquid reagent and a rotatable carousel positioned below the dispensing means. The upper surface of the carousel has a plurality of trays each containing a cryogenic liquid, typically liquid nitrogen, for receiving the drops of liquid reagent. An alternative embodiment of the present invention comprises a tank comprising a cryogenic liquid for receiving the drops of liquid reagent. The tank has a heat source for slightly heating a portion of the cryogenic liquid such that a convection current in the cryogenic liquid is created. The convection currents in the cryogenic liquid provide mild agitation of the liquid and prevent aggregation of the frozen drops.
