  • METHOD FOR IMMOBILISING BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES FOR ANALYTICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC PURPOSES
    Publication number: 20200209120
    Abstract: A method for immobilising live cells within biological samples for analytical and diagnostic purposes that comprises the steps of providing a biological sample containing a predetermined number of cells to analyse; providing a planar support particularly suitable for use in an analytical device, the planar support comprising a surface functionalised with a surface coating comprising a nanostructured material; depositing a laminar layer of said biological sample on said functionalised surface of said planar support in order to cause the cells contained in the biological sample to adhere to the functionalised surface of the planar support; and positioning a fixative on the laminar layer of the biological sample. All of the above-mentioned steps are carried out at a temperature below at least 25° C.

  • Support Having Nanostructured Titanium Dioxide Film And Uses Thereof
    Publication number: 20110229579
    Abstract: The present invention relates to supports for bioassays and the use thereof in cell culturing and in cell-based methods and assays. More precisely, the invention provides solid materials coated with films of nanostructured titanium dioxide suitable for the immobilisation of viruses and for cell-adhesion. The nanostructured TiO2 film-coated support of the invention is particularly useful for the preparation of microarrays for genetic and phenotypic analysis.
