Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9959874A1] A sampler (10) having multiple miniature sample compartments (15) for containing several samples (40) and an in-line continuous motion method of making such multiple miniature sample compartments (15). The sampler (10) includes a base ply (20), at least one top ply (30) sealed to the base ply (20) to form a plurality of hermetically sealed compartments (15), wherein each compartment (15) contains a sample deposit (40). The method involves adjusting the rheology of the sample material so that the sample material may be cleanly separated into individual deposits (40) which are dispensed in close proximity on a moving web. The same equipment may be used in the present method to dispense sample materials having various viscosities while avoiding splattering and spreading.
