Abstract
A process for aligning a macromolecule on the surface S of a support comprises forming a triple line S/A/B (meniscus) resulting from contact between a solvent A and the surface S and a medium B is caused to move on the surface S. The macromolecule has a part, especially an end, anchored on the surface S. The other part, especially the other end, is in solution in the solvent A. A process for detecting, measuring the intramolecular distance of, separating and/or assaying a macromolecule in a sample using the process of alignment is provided.
