3 results about "Microplate Well" patented technology

Various implementations generally relate to a device to prevent or reduce liquid evaporation in microplate wells using a system of movable bars. The device includes multiple layers, including a base with a cavity configured to place a microplate, a set of movable bars placed on the upper surface of the base and configured to open or close portions of wells of the microplate, and a cover plate placed on top of the set of movable bars, wherein the cover plate is configured to hold the multiple layers of the device in place.

Disclosed are various embodiments related to automated cell subculture of spheroids, tuberoids, organoids, and / or other multicellular bodies. Organoids can be cultured in hydrogels that are placed in well units of microwell plates. The well units include a primary well section that is fluidly connected to a secondary well section through at least one channel, and the hydrogel is placed in the primary well section of the well units. The hydrogel is dissipated into hydrogel fragments, thereby separating the organoids from the hydrogel. The hydrogel fragments are removed from the well units, while the organoids remain in the well units. The organoids that remain are broken into organoid fragments and corresponding debris. A fresh culture environment is generated using the organoid fragments.

Introduced here are rotors that can be placed inside of microplate wells that include liquid samples. Each rotor can be comprised of a ferromagnetic material. Accordingly, when a rotor is subjected to an external rotational magnetic field, the rotor spins and agitates the liquid sample inside the corresponding well. The spin speed may be adjusted by changing the rotation speed, direction, and / or orientation of the external rotational magnetic field. The rotor typically includes a central cavity within which a probe can be suspended during the biochemical test.
