Abstract
An organoid probing system includes a probe head having a probe, a first stage along which the probe head is movable in an X direction, and a second stage configured to move a microwell plate in a Y direction. The microwell plate has a microwell containing an organoid. The probe head is movable in a Z direction to insert the probe into the microwell or retract the probe away from the organoid in order to measure a property of the organoid.
Claims20
An organoid probing system comprising:
- a probe head having a probe;
- a first stage along which the probe head is movable in an X direction;
- and
- a second stage configured to move a microwell plate in a Y direction, wherein the microwell plate has a microwell containing an organoid;
- wherein the probe head is movable in a Z direction to insert the probe into the microwell or retract the probe away from the organoid in order to measure a property of the organoid.
A microwell plate for organoids comprising:
- a plurality of wells, each well having:
- a first portion;
- a second portion;
- and
- a third portion,
- wherein the first portion has a different shape than the second portion, and wherein the second portion has a different shape than the third portion.
An organoid probing system comprising:
- a probe head comprising:
- a motherboard;
- and
- a probe board coupled to the motherboard and having a probe extending therefrom, wherein the probe board is configured as a consumable component removable from the motherboard;
- a stage along which the probe head is movable;
- and
- a microwell plate having a microwell containing an organoid;
- wherein the probe head is configured to insert the probe into the microwell in order to measure a property of the organoid.
