Methods and apparatus for depositing a high density biological or chemical array onto a solid support. Specifically, the apparatus is made up of a plurality of open ended channels collectively forming a matrix. The matrix has been redrawn and cut such that the pitch of the channels on the loading end is larger than the pitch of the channels on the liquid delivery end. The upper portion of each channel serves as a reservoir, while the opposing end, which has been formed by the redrawing process, is diametrically sized such that liquid in the reservoir is retained by capillary pressure at the delivery end. At any point along the height of the capillary reservoir device, all cross-sectional dimensions and areas are uniformly reduced. In other words, the on-center orientation of any two channels, also referred to as the pitch between 2 channels, measured as a function of the diameter of any cross section, is constant throughout the structure. The liquid within the channels is either printed directly from the tool onto a substrate or transferred to a substrate by a typographical pin plate. In another embodiment, the device may be used in transferring sample between multiwell plates of different well density.

The invention discloses a method for calculating tight sandstone reservoir permeability based on hole feature parameters. The method includes the steps of calculating hole structural parameters through a rock core mercury penetration experiment, establishing a permeability well logging interpretation model through a first characteristic function which is established through the hole structural parameters, converting nuclear magnetism T2 spectrum into a pseudo capillary pressure curve through correlations existing between nuclear magnetism T2 spectrum distribution and mercury penetration hole diameter distribution, and calculating the reservoir permeability according to a second characteristic function which is established through the pseudo capillary pressure curve. In practical application, the quantitative, continuous and high-precision pseudo capillary pressure curve is obtained through nuclear magnetic resonance well logging information under the condition that laboratory mercury penetration information does not exist, and finally, calculation of the reservoir permeability is conducted according to the second characteristic function which is established through the pseudo capillary pressure curve.
