Abstract

The tool (1, 3) is designed for the transport of drops (2i) which are arranged according to a predetermined spatial distribution. It comprises at least one filiform support (1) mounted on a frame (3) clearing this support, said support presenting a plurality of the areas wettable by said liquid, distributed according to a predetermined distribution over its length, these wettable areas being separated from each other by nonwettable sections of said support (1). Application to cell cultures or tests on biological molecules.
