20150283543 | MULTI-WELL PLATE - The invention provides a multi-well plate, comprising: a plate base, which defines the bottom of a plurality of sample wells; a scaffold layer disposed on the plate base, which scaffold layer provides a porous three-dimensional network of polymer nanofibres in each of said sample wells; and a plate frame, which defines the side walls of said sample wells; wherein the plate frame is bonded to the plate base through the scaffold layer. The invention further provides a process for producing the multi-well assay plate. Further provided is a scaffold which comprises a porous three dimensional network of electrospun polymer nanofibres, wherein the mean diameter of the polymer nanofibres is from 500 nm to 10 μm. A process for producing the scaffold is also provided, as are various uses of the multi-well plate and the scaffold in drug screening, regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. | 10-08-2015 |
