Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004040006A1] The transdermal assay apparatus (600) includes first (610), second (650), and third members (640). The first member (610) has one or more sample surfaces, each of which is configured to receive a sample (630) thereon. The second member (650) defines one or more reservoirs (654), each of which has an opening on a surface of the second member. Each sample surface is substantially the same size as each opening. The transdermal assay apparatus also includes a magnetic clamp configured to clamp a tissue specimen between the sample surface and the opening. The magnetic clamp preferably includes a magnet having a strength that is selected based on the clamping force required between the first member and the second member. The invention also provides a method for using a transdermal assay apparatus.
