Abstract

A procedure for forming a preset-type solid phase and morphology on a flat substrate from a microdroplet of a solution with an initial volume of 10−10 1 (100 pl) and diameter of about 100 μm is proposed. The microdroplet is created by an Affymetrix GMS 417 Arrayer device intended for manufacturing biochips. The results of investigation of microdroplets from water solutions of molecular and ion substances, dyes, and colloidal particles are described and discussed, and the morphology of the solid phase formed on the substrate is analyzed.
