<p>Apparatus for recording electrical activity produced by cells in-vitro, which comprises a device having a polymeric structure (12) comprising a well (14) for housing and culturing cells, a duct (15) disposed at right angles to said well and connected to its bottom region, and two electrodes (13,13') for recording a potential in said well, wherein the width of said well is at least ten times, preferably twenty times and more preferably fifty times, the width of said duct, and the width of at least of said electrodes (13) is at least ten times the width of said duct. The polymeric structure preferably comprises two such wells (14,14') connected by said duct (15), so that one of the electrodes can be placed in one well and another one of the electrodes can be placed in the other well.</p> |
