Abstract: A method of making a multi-well test plate including an upper frame portion and a glass panel secured to a lower side of the upper frame portion with a layer of light-curable adhesive. The upper frame portion includes a plurality of walls defining adjacent wells for receiving assay samples. The adhesive has various properties, such as high viscosity, thixotropicity, transparency, water insolubility, non-autofluorescence, and non-toxicity, as well as others that are advantageous when constructing and using the multi-well test plate. The adhesive is preferably applied by a screen transfer process that takes advantage of the adhesive properties.

Abstract: A pet carrier worn about the human torso comprises a rigid, planar bottom with flexible fabric walls extending upwardly therefrom to form a pouch with an open top into which a pet may be seated with the head exposed at the open top. A pair of shoulder and waist straps attach to the pouch and platform, respectively, to secure the carrier to the body with the pouch positioned adjacent the abdomen and the platform extending perpendicular thereto.
