The present invention generally relates to nanowires and, in particular, to multiwell plates comprising nanowires, including systems and methods of making the same. Such multiwell plates can, in some cases, be used in automated equipment or high-throughput applications. For example, a plurality of cells may be placed in at least some of the wells of the multiwell plate, and one or more nanowires may be inserted into at least some of the cells within the wells of the multiwell plate. In some cases, one or more of the nanowires may have coated thereon a biological effector. The cells in each of the wells may be identical or different, and/or the biological effector may the same or different. Such multiwell plates may be used, for example, to test a biological effector against a variety of cell types, or to test a variety of biological effectors against a one or more cell types, or the like. |
