Patent

CA 2348056

The invention provides systems (8), methods, and apparatus for dispensing liquids. According to one method, a plate (10) is provided having a plurality of wells (14). At least one marker is also provided and is associated with at least some of the wells. The plate and marker are moved relative to a plurality of liquid dispensing elements, and the presence of the marker is sensed with a sensor that is disposed at a known location relative to the dispensing elements. The sensing of the marker indicates that at least some of the wells are aligned with the dispensing elements. As such, liquid is dispensed from the dispensing elements and into the aligned wells after sensing the presence of the marker.

L'invention concerne des systèmes (8), des procédés et des dispositifs de distribution de liquides. Selon un de ces procédés, on utilise une plaque (10) comportant une pluralité de puits (14), et un marqueur au moins, associé à certains puits au moins. On déplace la plaque et le marqueur par rapport à une pluralité d'éléments distributeurs de liquide, et on détecte la présence du marqueur au moyen d'un capteur disposé en un emplacement connu par rapport aux éléments distributeurs. La détection du marqueur indique que certains puits au moins sont alignés avec les éléments distributeurs. Ainsi, les éléments distributeurs distribuent le liquide dans les puits alignés, après détection de la présence du marqueur.
