Method For Transferring A Target Between Locations
First Claim
1. A method for transferring a target from a first fluid at a first location to a second location, the target being bound to solid phase substrate to form target bound solid phase substrate, comprising:
- forming a non-concave meniscus with the first fluid;
drawing the target bound solid phase substrate from the first fluid into a transfer region of a transfer device;
aligning the transfer region is aligned with the second location; and
releasing the target bound solid phase substrate to pass to the second location.

Abstract
A device and method are proved for transferring a target from a first location to a second location. The target is bound to solid phase substrate to form a target bound solid phase substrate. The device includes transfer surface for receiving the target bound solid phase substrate thereon for transfer. The transfer surface movable between a first position wherein the transfer surface is aligned with the first location and spaced therefrom by a distance and a second position wherein the transfer surface is aligned with the second location. An alignment structure aligns the transfer surface with respect to the second location, with the transfer surface in the second position. A force is movable between an attraction position wherein the target bound solid phase substrate are drawn toward the transfer surface and a discharge position wherein the target bound solid phase substrate are free of the force.
