Abstract
A microcavity vessel transport device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the microcavity vessel transport device may include a base; the base may include a cavity that may receive a microcavity cell culture vessel. The base may also include a plurality of sidewalls defining the cavity and each sidewall may include a bottom wall. The microcavity vessel transport device may also include an arm including a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the arm may be connected to the base and the arm may extend upwards and towards a center of the base, such that the distal end of the arm is positioned over the center of the base.
Claims20
A microcavity vessel transport device comprising:
- a base comprising:
- a cavity, wherein the cavity is configured to receive a microcavity cell culture vessel;
- and
- a plurality of sidewalls defining the cavity, each sidewall comprising a bottom wall;
- and
- an arm comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the arm is connected to the base and the arm extends upwards and towards a center of the base such that the distal end of the arm is positioned over the center of the base.
A microcavity vessel transport device comprising:
- a base comprising a plurality of cavities, wherein each of the plurality of cavities is configured to receive a microcavity cell culture vessel;
- and
- an arm comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the arm is connected to a center of the base and the arm extends substantially perpendicular from the base.
A microcavity vessel transport system comprising:
- a microcavity cell culture vessel;
- and
- a microcavity vessel transport device comprising:
- a base comprising:
- a cavity, wherein the microcavity cell culture vessel is removably positioned in the cavity;
- and
- a plurality of sidewalls defining the cavity, each sidewall comprising a bottom wall;
- and
- an arm comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the arm is connected to the base and the arm extends upwards and towards a center of the base, wherein the arm comprises a plurality of eyeholes extending through the arm proximate the distal end of the arm.
