<p>An apparatus for growing cells, comprising a feeding tray (28;200) comprising walls (12,14,16,18) and a flat bottom surface (19) for housing a nutrient medium, and a multiwell filter plate (10;101) to be positioned above said feeding tray (28;200). The filter plate (10;101) comprising a multiplicity of wells (42;100), each including a membrane (43;104) positioned and secured to a lower opening (106) of each well (42;100), a first access hole (45;102) associated with each well (42;100), and one or more second access hole(s) (50,52;116) for introducing/removing a nutrient medium to/from the feeding tray (28;200) without the need for separating the multiwell filter plate (10,101) from the feeding tray (28;200). The invention also concerns a method of growing cells using such apparatus in conjunction with a multiwell receiver plate.</p> |
