Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0160520A1] A device and method for distributing solid supports has a flow system (150), an attraction device (162), and a receiver (148). The flow system (150) is positioned over the attraction device (162) where particles are attracted into holes (166) in an attraction surface (164) using vacuum. The flow system (150) is removed and the attraction device (162) is positioned over the receiver (148) and the particles transferred to the receiver (148) by pressure and/or vacuum.
