  • BIOLOGICAL SAMPLING PLATFORM AND PROCESSES FOR MAKING AND USING SAME
    Publication number: 20170021149
    Abstract: A biological sampling platform includes a substrate and a first through hole disposed in the substrate to receive a first sample and to provide the first sample to a biological system in response to the biological sampling platform being disposed in the biological system, the substrate being cleavable to provide a discrete layer having a thickness effective for analysis of the discreet layer by transmission microscopy. A process for collecting a biological sample includes disposing a first through hole in a substrate; disposing a first sample in the first through hole to form a biological sampling platform; disposing the biological sampling platform in a biological system; providing the first sample to the biological system in response to the biological sampling platform being disposed in the biological system; and receiving a first biological sample from the biological system in the first through hole to collect the first biological sample.
