Abstract
A multi-well test plate which includes a base and a plurality of well strips. The well strips are removable from the base and the individual wells of each strip are separable. The wells in each strip are joined by T-shaped connecting members which hold the wells in a flat linear array when the well strips are either held in or removed from the base and the T-shaped members are readily severable to permit easy separation of individual wells. The bottom wall of each well is a microporous membrane.
Claims3
A multi-well strip constructed and arranged to be removably mounted in a test plate comprising:
- a multi-well strip comprising a plurality of spaced-apart wells arranged in a linear array and molded together as a strip of wells, each of said plurality of wells having side and bottom walls, wherein the bottom wall of each well is a microporous membrane,
- frangible connecting means joining pairs of adjacent wells and enabling each well to be readily separated from the other wells in the strip, and
- flanges attached to end wells of the strip and extending in opposite directions to permit releasable mounting of the strip on a test plate.
