Abstract
There are disclosed a chamber plate for use in cell fusion comprising a plate of single crystal silicon on which a plurality of chambers for holding at least a pair of unit cells are formed in array, said chamber having at the bottom a plate having slits which do not pass cells to be held; and a process for producing a chamber plate for use in cell fusion which comprises forming chambers for holding cells in a plate of single crystal silicon by anisotropic etching or isotropic etching by chemical etching.
Claims5
A chamber plate for use in the fusion of biological cells comprising a plate of single crystal silicon in which a plurality of chambers for holding at least a pair of unit cells is formed in an array, each of said chambers having side and bottom walls for isolating the cells and for defining a base area keeping the cells in contact with each other, the bottom wall having a slit which allows passage of fluid, but which does not allow passage of the cells.
