Abstract
A support is provided, including a reception zone in which the external envelope matches the shape of a plate configured to be placed on a droplet deposited at least in the reception zone in order to achieve capillary self-assembly of the plate and the support, and at least one pair of tracks that extend on the support from the reception zone and that have a lyophilic-type affinity with the droplet such that an overflow of the droplet beyond the reception zone is guided in the tracks, wherein the at least one pair of tracks includes a first track and a second track that do not have the same lyophilic-type degree of affinity with the droplet.
