摘要： Fluid containers are disclosed which have fluid reservoirs in their closures. These reservoirs are advantageous to hold sacrificial fluid which lessens the loss of the fluid of interest to the outside through evaporation. The reservoirs may have openings to the inside or outside of the container, or to both. Reservoirs with openings to the outside serve to reduce evaporative loss by raising the partial pressure of fluid in the vicinity of the contact between the closure and the remainder of the container. The reservoirs may be refÊllable without opening the container. In one embodiment a fluid reservoir allows the zone of contact between the closure and the remainder of the container to be immersed in fluid, so that gases seeking to escape the interior of the container must pass through fluid. In a further embodiment a closure for a container comprises at least two closure members. The relative position of the closure members with respect to each other is altered upon mating of the closure and container. The alteration of the relative position of the closure members may result in one or more of the members approaching the container more closely. The alteration may result in one or more of the members pressing against the container.

摘要： To ejecting a droplet from a reservoir, the reservoir holding a fluid is moved with respect to an acoustic ejector. As the reservoir and ejector move closer together, the acoustic ejector sends one or more interrogation pulses towards the reservoir. Based on the interrogation pulses, the system determines when the movement of the reservoir has placed a free surface of the fluid in a position where a droplet can be ejected.

摘要： The invention provides a method for generating droplets. Extremely fine droplets may be generated (on the order of 1 picoliter or less) using focused acoustic energy to eject the droplets from a reservoir containing two or more immiscible fluids. The droplets may include immiscible fluids or a single fluid. Typically, the droplets are ejected onto discrete sites on a substrate surface so as to form an array thereon. In some instances, the reservoirs contain layers of immiscible fluids, wherein an upper layer exhibits a nonuniform thickness. In such a case, fluid from a lower fluid layer may be propelled through an aperture region of the upper layer.

摘要： Provided is a method for preparing a sample surface (51) for analysis that involves placing a sample surface (51) in droplet-receiving relationship to a reservoir (13,15) containing a fluid (14, 16). Typically, the sample is a cellular sample (45) that exhibits a nonuniform surface, the fluid (14, 16) is an analysis-enhancing fluid comprised of a mass spectrometry matrix material and a carrier fluid, and the carrier fluid is comprised of a low volatility solvent. A droplet (49) of fluid is ejected from the reservoir (13, 15) such that the droplet (49) is deposited on the sample surface (51) at a designated site (55, 57). Such ejection is typically, but not necessarily carried out through the application of focused acoustic energy. Then, the sample (45) is subjected to conditions sufficient to allow the fluid (14, 16) to interact with the sample surface (51) and to render the sample surface (51) suitable for analysis. Optionally, the sample (45) is analyzed at the designated site (55,57). Also provided are systems and devices for preparing a sample surface (51) for analysis.

摘要： Devices and methods are provided for acoustically assessing the contents in a plurality of reservoirs. Each reservoir has a portion adapted to contain a fluid, and an acoustic radiation generator is positioned in acoustic coupling relationship to each of the reservoirs. Acoustic radiation generated by the acoustic radiation generator is transmitted through at least the portion of each reservoir to an analyzer. In some instances, the acoustic generator is adapted to interrogate a single reservoir at one time. However, an acoustic radiation generator may be adapted to generate acoustic radiation having an image filed of a size sufficient to interrogate selected reservoirs of the plurality at one time. The analyzer is capable of analyzing a characteristic of the transmitted acoustic radiation and optionally correlating the characteristic to a property of the reservoirs' contents. This allows for greater accuracy and control over the dispensing of fluids from the reservoirs. Optionally, a means is provided for removing fluid acoustic coupling medium from the reservoir.

摘要： The invention relates to the efficient transport of a small volume of fluid, such as may be required by mass spectrometers and other devices configured to process and/or analyze small samples of biomolecular fluids. Such transport involves nozzleless acoustic ejection. In some instances, sample molecules contained in droplets of fluid are introduced from a reservoir into an ionization chamber of a analytical device. In other instances, sample molecules are introduced into a small capillary by directing focused acoustic radiation at a focal point near the surface of a fluid sample. In still other instances, acoustic ejection is used to form an array on a surface, wherein the features of the array are ionized for analysis. The invention may be used with microfluidic devices. Thus, the invention facilitates the processing and/or analysis of various types of samples, such as biomolecules having high molecular weights.

摘要： The invention provides devices and methods for acoustically assessing fluid content in a reservoir. When used to assess the contents of a plurality of reservoirs, the reservoirs are typically provided as an array. An acoustic radiation generator is employed for generating acoustic radiation having an image field of a size sufficient to interrogate a plurality of selected reservoirs at one time. The generator is placed in acoustic coupling relationship via a fluid acoustic coupling medium to the selected reservoirs, and acoustic radiation generated by the generator is transmitted through the coupling medium, an exterior surface of the selected reservoirs, and the selected reservoirs. A characteristic of the transmitted acoustic radiation is analyzed so as to assess the contents of each of the selected reservoirs. Fluid may be ejected from the selected reservoirs based on the assessment. Optionally, a means is provided for removing fluid acoustic coupling medium from the exterior surface after acoustic assessment. Also provided are devices and methods for controlling the composition and/or volume of a fluid within a reservoir that include means for introducing additional fluid into the reservoir.
