Photoactivation device and method

摘要

A photoactivation apparatus ( 200 ) separately delivers light to a plurality of wells of a multiwell plate ( 110 ). The device-includes a plurality of light emitting diodes ( 210 ) attached to a first surface of a substrate ( 220 ) such that when the photoactivation apparatus is positioned on the multiwell plate each of the light emitting diodes delivers light to one corresponding well. The light emitting diodes ( 210 ) may extend at least partially into the wells of the multiwell plate. A heat sink ( 250 ) and fan may be provided on the device to dissipate heat generated by the light emitting diodes. The components are preferably enclosed in a conveniently-sized housing ( 270 ). The housing may include one or more grips and air vents. The apparatus includes an interlocking lip ( 230 ) defining a recess which is sized to receive at least a portion of the multiwell plate. A power supply connected to the apparatus and configured to provide an equal voltage across each of the light emitting diodes.
