SCREENING PLATE AND METHOD FOR CO-CULTURING CELLS

Espacenet Family 70738403

Abstract

A screening plate has a plurality of wells for culturing cells therein and comprises a first layer defining top well sections of the plurality of wells, and a second layer defining bottom well sections of the plurality of wells. A membrane is provided between the first layer and second layer and divides the plurality of wells into top well sections above the membrane for holding a first cell culture medium with cells and bottom well sections below the membrane for holding a second cell culture medium with cells. The bottom well section and top well section of each well are in fluid communication with each other through the membrane.
