Description

FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a first embodiment of a biological cell processing chip showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a front elevation view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a rear elevation view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a right side elevation view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a left side elevation view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 8 is an isometric view of the first embodiment in a state of use;

FIG. 9 is an isometric view of a second embodiment of a biological cell processing chip showing our new design;

FIG. 10 is a front elevation view thereof; and,

FIG. 11 is a rear elevation view thereof.

The dotted lines in the drawings depict boundaries of the claimed design that form no part thereof. The short-dashed lines in FIGS. 1-7 and 9-11 depict portions of the biological cell processing chip that form no part of the claimed design. The remaining short-dashed lines shown in FIG. 8 depict environmental subject matter and form no part of the claimed design.

Claims
