  • Patent number: 11530378
    Abstract: Described herein are nanostraw well insert apparatuses (e.g., devices and systems) that include nanotubes extending through and out of a membrane so that a material can pass through the membrane from a fluid reservoir depot and into a cell grown onto the nanotubes when electrical energy (e.g., electroporation energy) is applied. In particular, the device, systems and methods described herein may be adapted for cell growth viability and transfection efficiency (e.g., >70%). These apparatuses may be readily integratable into cell culturing processes for improved transfection efficiency, intracellular transport, and cell viability.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 9, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 20, 2022
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University
