An article (20) is provided herein for use in seeding cells on at least one filter (22) extending across at least one well (34) of an assay device. The article includes an elastomeric body (24) having spaced-apart first (26) and second (28) surfaces, and at least one channel (30) extending between, and through, the first and second surfaces. The channel is formed to sealingly, and detachably, engage an outer surface (50) of the well with the filter being at least partially encompassed by the channel. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a cell monolayer can be formed on the exterior surface of the filter. The assay device may be a multiwell plate, an insert plate, a column, a test tube, or a pipette. |
