Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/011234
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To transfer a droplet along the surface of a transfer face-forming member by a simple procedure.
[Solution] A droplet transfer device comprising a transfer face-forming member (1), which is formed of a non-magnetic body and forms a droplet transfer face, and magnetic field-forming members (4A, 4B), said magnetic field-forming members (4A, 4B) being provided on the both faces of the transfer face-forming member (1) and respectively forming magnetic field gradients in such a manner that the strength of each magnetic field decreases with the increasing distance from an area, wherein a droplet is positioned on the surface of the transfer face-forming member (1), along the surface. By relatively moving the transfer face-forming member (1) and the magnetic field-forming members (4A, 4B) along the surface, the droplet is transferred along the magnetic field gradients.
