The disclosed spotting instrument includes one or more sensors that are mechanically fixed to the instrument's printhead. The sensors enable the instrument to detect whether a substrate is mounted in a particular holder of the instrument's substrate station prior to attempting to print spots onto that substrate. Similarly, the sensors enable the instrument to detect whether a reservoir is mounted in a particular holder of the instrument's well station prior to attempting to collect a sample of target material from that reservoir. The sensors also enable the instrument to read bar code labels affixed to substrates or reservoirs mounted in the instrument.

Les instruments d'application de la présente invention comprennent un ou plusieurs capteurs fixés mécaniquement à la tête d'impression de l'instrument. Ces capteurs permettent à l'instrument de détecter si un substrat est monté dans un support particulier de la station substrat de l'instrument avant d'essayer d'imprimer des points sur le substrat. De la même manière, ces capteurs permettent à l'instrument de détecter si un réservoir est monté dans un support particulier de la station puits de l'instrument avant d'essayer de récupérer un échantillon de matière cible de ce réservoir. Ces capteurs permettent également à l'instrument de lire des étiquettes de codes à barres fixées sur des substrats ou des réservoirs montés dans l'instrument.
