Methods and apparatus for the fluid delivery and removal of micron scale structures that increase the efficiency of such fluid delivery and removal. An exemplary method for fluid delivery of a micron scale structure includes providing a silicon device that comprises a plurality of wells. Each of the wells includes a bottom wall, a side wall, a top opening and a plurality of protrusions that extend into the interior of the well. A plurality of micron scale structures are delivered into the wells using a fluid. The fluid is then removed from the wells, whereby spaces between the protrusions facilitate flow and removal of the fluid. The protrusions then retain the plurality of micron scale structures in the wells.
