Abstract: A cell culture device, a method for manufacturing the cell culture device using an In Mold Labeling (IML) technique, and a method for using the cell culture device are all described herein. The cell culture device is an In Line Molded frame which has a cell growth film permanently bonded thereto. The cell growth film can be a film coated with, for example, three-dimensional randomly oriented electrospun polyamide nanofibers, a hydrogel formulation, (meth)acrylate monomers or polymers, urethane (meth)acrylate monomers or polymers, or epoxide formulation.

Abstract: A multiwell plate is described that is used for assaying samples and is made from a plastic upper plate which forms the sidewalls of one or more wells and a transparent lower plate which forms the bottom walls of the wells. The upper plate and lower plate are attached and bound to one another by a series of rings. Also described herein is a method for making such multiwell plates.

Abstract: Packages and methods for containing slides adapted for the attachment of biomolecules. The containers do not degrade the ability of biomolecules to attach to the surface when the slides are stored or shipped in the container.

Abstract: A microplate that is manufactured from a thermally conductive material and methods for making and using the microplate are described herein. Basically, the microplate has a series of wells formed within a frame that is manufactured from a thermally conductive material which enables the wells to have relatively rigid walls which in turn makes it easier to handle the microplate. The thermally conductive material can be a metal or a mixture of a polymer (e.g., polypropylene, LCP) and one or more thermally conductive additives (e.g., carbon fiber, metal, ceramic). Also described herein is a tube manufactured from a thermally conductive material and methods for making and using the tube.

Abstract: A multiwell plate or other substrate for use in performing biological and chemical analysis, the contents of which are identifiable by means of a radio frequency labeling system.

Abstract: Microplates and methods for manufacturing microplates. The microplate is designed to allow UV radiation to pass through the bottom wells of the microplate so that the microplate can be used for assaying samples by use of UV absorbance. In one embodiment, the microplate comprises at least first and second wells, each well having a UV permeable bottom. In another embodiment, the microplate comprises a frame having an upper portion and a lower portion contiguous with the upper portion and a sheet disposed between the upper portion and the lower portion and defining the bottom of at least one well of the microplate.

Abstract: A microplate and a method for manufacturing microplates. The microplate is designed to reduce optical cross-talk during the assaying of samples. The microplate includes a plurality of wells having light permeable sidewalls, a layer of light permeable material forming a bottom of the wells, and ribs of light impermeable material extending through the layer of light permeable material. The method includes steps of inserting a plate of light permeable material into a mold cavity that includes sections shaped to form the sidewalls of the plurality of wells, injecting molten light impermeable material into the mold cavity, and cooling the light impermeable material to form the microplate with the light impermeable material forming the sidewalls of each of the plurality of wells and the plate of light permeable material forming the bottom wall of each of the plurality of wells.
