The invention provides exemplary systems, methods, and apparatus for distinctly allocating liquids containing chemical compositions or compounds to known locations in an organized manner so that assays may be performed on the compositions, or so that the chemical compositions may be combined with other distinct chemical compositions or reagents prior to evaluation. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention includes a multiwell plate for handling articles such as resin beads suspended in a liquid. The plate comprises a plurality of wells. The wells in turn have a capillary hole that is adapted to (i) retain articles in the well, and (ii) retain liquid in the well while the liquid is not subjected to extrinsic forces, such as centrifugation or vacuum.

A versatile mesh-bottom Meshwell plate enables simultaneous rapid and highly reproducible high-throughput processing of small tissue samples or organisms. In an embodiment, the Meshwell plate consists of 96 meshwells and is particularly useful in assaying zebrafish embryos. The bottom tips of standard 96-well PCR plates are removed and replaced by a mesh with openings of about 75-300 μm, preferably 150 μm, in size. The Meshwell plate is optimized to allow fast draining of solutions and to prevent “wicking” of solution between wells. Quick and clean changes of solution can be done either by hand or a robot. With the Meshwell plate, waste of reagent solution and handling hazards, which may cause damage to and / or loss of samples, are substantially minimized and / or essentially eliminated. The Meshwell plate can be easily customized according to number of meshwells desired and can be economically mass-produced.

An apparatus and corresponding method of use extracts, cools, and transports effluents from subterranean, sub-sea oil formations to distant shore based processing facilities. The effluents, mostly crude oil, are conveyed rapidly to a cold flow generator near the oil wellhead on the sea bottom using the cold seawater to chill the effluents to a dispersed mixture including generated solids. The mixture is transported close to sea bottom temperatures, slowly, with small pressure drops, in low-cost submerged bare pipes over long distances to on or near shore processing facilities that can produce useful hydrocarbon products more cost effectively than at sea processing facilities. The apparatus eliminates or minimizes the need for heated or insulated pipe, the need for large floating processing structures, the need for sub-sea processing equipment, and / or the need for chemical additions to production flow.
