The sample support is particularly beneficial for use with analysis instruments which rely on a beam of radiation or accelerated particles and a method for making the same is disclosed. The holder includes a frame with one or more orifices covered by a support surface, typically in the form of a thin polymer film. The film is divided into hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions to isolate precise positions where samples can be placed to intersect a probe beam during analysis.Field of SearchContainerHolder, support, housing, or hood Analysis based on electrical measurement Measuring optical property by using ultraviolet, infrared, or visible light Carrier is synthetic resin Antigen or antibody entrapped within the carrier (e.g., gel, hollow fiber, etc.) SURFACE PROPERTY OR CHARACTERISTIC OF WEB, SHEET OR BLOCK MISCELLANEOUS (E.G., TREATED SURFACES, ETC.) |
