PLATFORM SYSTEM, ELEMENTS AND USE THEREOF, AND MANUFACTURING METHODS

摘要

A platform system includes a bottom element (1) com- prising a bottom substrate plate (3) having an array of cell culture sites (5) thereon for introducing and culturing cells (9), and a cover element (10) comprising a support substrate plate (12) having an array of test agent sites (14) thereon. The cell culture sites (5) and the test agent sites (14) are bounded by walls (7, 15) formed by patterned layers(2, 11) of a hydro- phobic material printed on the substrate plates(3,2).
