| 摘要 |
This invention relates to designs of an apparatus having a base and a removable grid to create micro-compartments. The apparatus can be used to create local, high concentrations of viruses, microbials, secretable factors and/or other biologics produced from a source of interest for biological screening (i.e. functional gene screening, secreted factor screening, etc.). The apparatus can also be used in high throughput drug screening procedures, especially in such procedures using cell-based assays, so as to avoid non-homogeneity of assay conditions and to reduce readout noise. This apparatus provides a means for parallel automated screening. |
