Abstract: A method for cultivating at least one cell in a cell culture plate, wherein the method comprises the steps of: providing a cell culture plate comprising a least one well containing at least one cell and a first fluid, for instance a cell culture medium; providing a second fluid, for instance a cell culture medium, in a fluid container; providing a fluid manifold comprising a fluid outlet extending in the well and coupled to the fluid container and a fluid inlet arranged to receive fluid from said well and coupled to an fluid output; and replacing the fluid in said well by introducing, from said fluid outlet, said second fluid in said well while removing, using said fluid inlet, fluid from said well until the well is homogenously filled with the second fluid.

Abstract: An ecosystem that allows fine-grained multi-party control over access to information stored in one or more data sources of a data provider. A requesting party can submit a query job to the data provider. Resellers in the chain can introduce their own query modifiers to the query job, adding additional data access, data transformation and segmentation functions to the query job. The data provider can append its own query modifier to the query job and execute the query job with all of the query modifiers. Access control for each link in the chain is checked before the query modifier for the link is executed. After execution of all query modifiers and the query job, the results can be provided to the requesting party.
