Abstract

The invention concerns a pattern generating device (100) comprising a movable assembly with a holding means adapted to hold a sample receptacle, and one or more coil (13), and a stationary assembly with one or more ferromagnetic component (14), each ferromagnetic component (14) comprising a cylindrical magnet member (14a) being at least partially placed inside one of the one or more coil (13). Each set of a coil (13) and ferromagnetic component (14) is a component of an electromagnetic Z actuator (10, 10a, 10b, 10c). The one or more electromagnetic Z actuator (10, 10a, 10b, 10c) is configured to (i) actuate a translational displacement of the movable assembly from a first to a second stable position and vice versa in Z direction relative to the stationary assembly and (ii) to induce a vibration of a sample receptacle (500, 600) held by the holding means. The invention further concerns a method for patterning particles in a liquid or gel-like sample using the device.
