ABSTRACT:
A fluid management apparatus includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. A plurality of fluid inlets, which are preferably media reservoirs, are formed in a first pattern in the first surface of the substrate. A plurality of fluid outlets, which are preferably nozzles, are arranged in a second pattern, which is different from the first pattern, in the second surface of the substrate. A plurality of fluid ducts formed in the substrate for connecting respective fluid inlets with respective fluid outlets are provided so that a format conversation from the fluid inlets to the fluid outlets is effected. The fluid outlets have opening cross-sections smaller than that of the fluid inlets. Furthermore, the fluid inlets may be arranged in the raster scheme of microtiter plates.
