BIOFILM GROWTH DEVICES AND METHODS

摘要

Embodiments include a biological growth device, and related methods for growing biofilms using embodiments of such biological growth device. The device includes a channel configured to convey a fluid medium. A first coupon well is disposed along the channel and defines an entry point for at least a portion of the fluid medium. A first coupon is configured to interface with the entry point defined by the first coupon well so as to receive the fluid medium. A second coupon well is disposed downstream along the channel from the first coupon well and defines an entry point for the fluid medium. A second coupon is configured to interface with the entry point defined by the second coupon well so as to receive the fluid medium subsequent to the first coupon.
