Abstract: A cell piercing device comprising a container, a respectively matching cap and a cell interacting surface is disclosed. The cell interacting surface comprises a plurality of extensions or prongs. The cell piercing device may further comprise a pedestal. Furthermore, a method of facilitating an interaction with the interior of cells is disclosed. The method includes the steps of loading into the container of the cell piercing device, a liquid solution containing the cells and tightening the respectively matching cap. Then centrifuging the device while the extensions or prongs protruding from the cell interacting surface are oriented essentially within the direction of the vector of the centripetal force and thereafter centrifuging the device while said extensions or prongs are oriented essentially within the direction of the vector of the centrifugal force.
