Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus comprising, in combination: (a) a cell culture plate, the cell culture plate comprising a first substrate and a plurality of cell carriers on the substrate in a first pattern; and (b) a cell replication plate, the cell replication plate comprising a second substrate and a plurality of cell sampling posts on the second substrate in a second pattern corresponding to the first pattern. Each of the sampling posts is configured to align with a respective one of the cell carriers in a position in which cells growing on the cell carrier propagate onto the sampling post; so that a plurality of distinct cell colonies growing on the cell culture plate are replicated on the cell replication plate. Methods of using the same are also described.

Abstract:
Selecting and propagating a cell colony of interest from among a plurality of cell colonies carried on a common substrate in culture is carried out by: (a) selecting a cell colony of interest from among the plurality of cell colonies; (b) isolating a cell subset from the cell colony of interest; (c) analyzing (for example, by a destructive analysis) the cell subset isolated from the cell colony of interest to confirm the presence or absence of a desired feature therein; and then (d) propagating the cell colony of interest when the desired feature is present in the cell subset. A micropallet apparatus may include: (a) a substrate; (b) a plurality of discrete arrays formed on the substrate, each of the arrays comprising a plurality of releasable pallets, and (c) a plurality of gap forming regions, wherein the gap forming regions surround the pallets and separate the pallets from one another.
Use Of Photosensitized Epon Epoxy Resin 1002F For Mems And Biomems Applications
US Patent:
2011022, Sep 15, 2011
Filed:
Jul 25, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/670349
Inventors:

International Classification:
G03F 7/20
US Classification:
430325, 430322
Abstract:
Systems and methods directed to the use 1002F to build microdevices and biomedical devices. Through the addition of a photosensitizing agent, Epon epoxy resin 1002F can be linked in the presence of UV light, making it useful as a photoresist or as a micropatternable structural material. One embodiment comprises combining 1002F monomer resin with a solvent and a photoinitiator, placing the monomer solution on a surface, exposing the monomer solution to UV light through a mask to initiate linking, and stripping the unlinked polymer away. In another embodiment, 3-D structures are built using two or more layers of sensitized monomer films, each having different sensitivity to light, and the use of a mask containing opaque and semi-opaque regions.

US Classification:
506 26, 506 40
Abstract:
An apparatus for collecting or culturing cells or cell colonies includes: a common substrate formed from a flexible resilient polymeric material and having a plurality of wells formed therein; and a plurality of rigid cell carriers releasably connected to said common substrate, with said carriers arranged in the form of an array, and with each of the carriers resiliently received in one of the wells. A method of collecting or culturing cells or cell colonies with such an apparatus is carried out by depositing a liquid media carrying cells on the apparatus so that said cells settle on or adhere to said the carriers; and then (c) releasing at least one selected carrier having said cells thereon by gradual application of release energy to each carrier from the cavity in which it is received (e.g., by pushing with a probe).
