Method for quantification of biological material in a sample

A method for detection of the amount of a biological material in a sample, comprising the steps of:

• liquefying said sample if necessary, and pouring the liquefied sample into an incubation plate comprising a generally flat horizontal surface, said surface defining a plurality of at least twenty recessed wells, each well being adapted to hold an aliquot of liquid and being sized and shaped, and formed of a material suitable to hold said aliquot within each said well by surface tension or by gelling of said liquid, said plate further comprising a landing pad area of size sufficient to hold the liquefied sample prior to dispersal of the sample to said wells;
• pouring off any excess liquid from said incubation plate, and
• incubating said incubation plate until the presence or absence of said biological material in one or more of said wells is determined so that the mount of said biological material can be determined.
