A method for depositing samples, in which at least one sample () is arranged on a substrate (), comprises the following steps: positioning a sample dispenser () above the substrate (), and actuating the sample dispenser () so that the sample () is moved from the sample dispenser () along a trajectory () to a predefined deposition position () on the substrate (), wherein at least part of the trajectory () is shielded against electrical interference fields. Also described is a substrate () for receiving samples (), comprising a substrate body (), on the surface of which at least one deposition position () is provided, and a shielding electrode (), which is designed so as to electrostatically shield the space above the at least one deposition position () against electrical interference fields.

Method and devices for depositing samples on an electrically shielded substrat

A sample taking apparatus comprises a plurality of separation tools () (for example, punching capillaries) on a holding device (), wherein the separation tools () are each provided with actuating means () for separate control thereof. In a sample taking method (for example, for punching samples from separation gels), successively removed samples are deposited in parallel onto a target substrate.
