Sample arraying/assembling device, its method, and apparatus using sample assembly

A sample arraying/assembling method of distributing samples at once at distribution intervals of column and line of a predetermined matrix, on a string-like or thread-like slender foundation member, comprising:

• a holding step for holding respective solutions containing samples to be distributed, on a plurality of holding ends arranged in a predetermined matrix;
• and a contact step for making said respective holding ends contact with said foundation member wound on a wound body having a plane surface wound so that said foundation member is arranged in parallel at the winding intervals of the line or the column on the plane surface.

A sample arraying/assembling method comprising an assembling step for:

• sequentially taking out a foundation member from a wound body wound with a foundation member on which samples are distributed at distribution intervals of column or line of a predetermined matrix, in parallel at said winding intervals of the line or column;
• and rolling said foundation member up around a core to which one end of said foundation member is attached, and around which said foundation member is wound, at narrower intervals than said winding intervals.

A sample arraying/assembling method, comprising:

• a holding step for holding respective solutions containing samples to be distributed on a plurality of holding ends arranged in a predetermined matrix;
• a contact step for making said respective holding ends contact with said foundation member and said wound body having a plane surface wound so that said foundation member is arranged in parallel at said winding intervals of line or column of the matrix on the plane surface;
• and an assembling step for sequentially taking out said foundation member from said wound body wound with said foundation member on which samples are distributed, in parallel at said winding intervals of the line or column, and rolling up said foundation member around a core to which one end of said foundation member is attached, and around which said foundation member is to be wound, at narrower intervals than said winding intervals.

A wound body which has a string-like or thread-like slender foundation member on which samples are to be distributed at distribution intervals of the column or line, and a plane surface wound with said foundation member so as to be arranged in parallel at said winding intervals of the line or column on the plane surface.

A sample arraying/assembling device, comprising:

• an assembled body having a core having a peripheral curved face or two side faces or more on which respective samples are to be distributed in predetermined positions with intervals, or wound or coated with a member on which respective samples are to be distributed in predetermined positions with intervals around the axis;
• and a rotating section which intermittently rotates said core around said axis for each predetermined angle so that said respective samples can be distributed around said peripheral curved face, said respective side faces, or said wound or coated member, in a condition where the axis of said peripheral curved face, respective side faces, or wound or coated member is kept horizontal.
