(57) Abstract: A method for depositing a biomolecule on a solid support, the method comprising the steps of: immersing a tip of a spring probe in a solution of a biomolecule; Providing the biomolecule liquid attached to the tip, and contacting the biomolecule liquid with a solid support, thereby moving the biomolecule liquid from the tip to the solid support. The spring probe has a planar tip, but is otherwise identical to a commercially available spring probe. Biomolecule fluids include thickeners in addition to biomolecules, where oligonucleotides are the preferred biomolecules. |
