Abstract: A surgical membrane for supporting bone growth comprises a surface configured for receiving a surface functionalisation agent capable of promoting cell adhesion and proliferation and/or of reducing bacterial growth on said surface. The membrane is also subjected to a treatment improving the wettability of the surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to nanopore membranes, methods for manufacturing such nanopore membranes, and uses thereof. In the methods for manufacturing the membranes colloidal lithography is used, which results in production of nanosize pores in a short time and on a large scale. The nanopore membranes have a narrow size distribution and are randomly arranged. Furthermore, the inter-pore distance shows very little variation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for use in performing assays on standard laboratory solid supports whereon chemical entities are attached. The invention furthermore relates to the use of such a device and a kit comprising such a device. The device according to the present invention is adapted to receive one or more replaceable solid support(s) (40) onto which chemical entities (41) are attached, said device comprising a base (1, 60, 80, 300, 400, 10, 70, 140, 20, 90, 120, 150, 30, 100), one or more inlet(s) (5), one or more outlet(s) (6). The base and the solid support (40) defines, when operatively connected, one or more chambers (21) comprising the chemical entities (41), the inlet(s) (5) and outlet(s) (6) and chambers (21) being in fluid connection. The device further comprise means for providing differing chemical conditions in each chamber (21).
