Abstract
We describe instrumentation for forming two-dimensional arrays of polymer m icroparticles produced from electrodynamically focused microdroplet streams . A single-stage linear quadrupole was used to focus droplets/particles ont o silanated glass slides mounted on a computer-driven two-dimensional trans lation stage. Center-to-center position stability was on the order of 1 mu m. Applications to molecular sorting with polymer particles as host carrier s are discussed. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
