Abstract
A transfer loop has a loop, a stem, and an optional main body member. The loop is connected to the stem and encloses a slit resulting in a discontinuous loop. The slit is positioned either to one side of the loop or at the bottom of the loop and aligned relative to the long central axis of the transfer loop. The transfer loop is adapted to pick up an aliquot of fluid from a first surface and to release the aliquot of fluid downward onto a second surface. Specifically, the aliquot of fluid is directed through the slit and deposited in a non-random manner onto the second surface. More specifically, pressure does not have to be applied to the stem to cause the loop to flatten against the second surface in order to facilitate release of the aliquot of fluid.
