Abstract: A multilayered cell culture apparatus for the culturing of cells is disclosed. The cell culture apparatus is defined as an integral structure having a plurality of cell culture chambers in combination with tracheal space(s). The body of the apparatus has imparted therein gas permeable membranes in combination with tracheal spaces that will allow the free flow of gases between the cell culture chambers and the external environment. The flask body also includes an aperture that will allow access to the cell growth chambers by means of a needle or cannula. The size of the apparatus, and location of an optional neck and cap section, allows for its manipulation by standard automated assay equipment, further making the apparatus ideal for high throughput applications.

Abstract: A cell culture apparatus includes a cell culture module including multiple cell culture chambers. A manifold connects the multiple cell culture chambers together along a side of the cell culture module. The manifold includes a side wall base structure connected to the side of the cell culture module and a column structure that is formed as a monolithic part of the side wall base structure. The column structure defines a fluid flow pathway through the manifold and to inlets to the cell culture chambers to allow filling and emptying of the cell culture chambers of liquid medium.

Abstract: A cell culture vessel includes a vessel body, support columns, and a stabilizer device. The vessel body defines a cell culture chamber enclosed between a bottom wall and a top wall. The support column is within the cell culture chamber and extends between the top wall and the bottom wall. The stabilizer device covers a width and length of the cell culture chamber and has a column engaging structure that is sized to slidingly engage the support column such that the stabilizer device is movable along the support column as a liquid culture medium is received in the cell culture chamber. The support column guides the stabilizer device along a length of the support column as the stabilizer device rises with rising liquid level in the cell culture chamber during a liquid culture medium filling operation.

Abstract: Various implementations of a system and method for analyzing extracellular vesicles (EVs) are disclosed having a number of innovative features. In one implementation, a method for analyzing EVs includes binding EVs to an optical waveguide biosensor and phenotyping the bound EVs. Phenotyping can include binding a labeled ligand to the EVs and/or rupturing the EVs and analyzing their cargo. In another implementation, a system for analyzing EVs includes EVs bound to an optical waveguide biosensor and a labeled ligand bound to the EVs. In another implementation, a kit for analyzing EVs includes a micro plate having wells containing optical waveguide biosensors functionalized with a binding agent configured to bind to EVs and at least one of: (a) labeled ligands configured to bind to the extracellular vesicles or (b) a reagent configured to rupture the extracellular vesicles.

Abstract: A fluidic device for culturing cells includes a microplate and plate lid. The microplate includes multiple wells and channels, the channels extending between the wells such that the channels interconnect the wells. The plate lid releasably engages the microplate to thereby enclose the wells and the channels The wells include a culture surface such that a cell culture medium received therein is deposited over the culture surface. At least one channel that extends between adjacent ones of the wells is spaced from the culture surfaces of the adjacent wells defining a gap between the at least one channel and the culture surfaces of the adjacent wells for collection of the cell culture medium.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for evaluating the interaction of a candidate compound on 3D hepatocyte spheroid in an invitro culture, including evaluating the metabolism of a candidate compound, for use in various biochemical and molecular biology studies. The methods are performed in labware that combine 3D spheroid culture with micro-patterned design that allows for multiple to several hundreds of spheroids to be treated under the same conditions and to produce sufficient materials (e.g., parent drug, drug metabolites, DNA, RNA, and proteins from cells) and higher detection signal intensity for ADME/Tox (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) studies. The methods allow for, among other uses, the investigation and generation of accurate invitro intrinsic clearance data and thus more accurate prediction of in vivo clearance, particularly with low clearance compounds.
