摘要： In one embodiment, a kit includes a base and a specimen removably couplable to the base. A top plate defines a plurality of apertures and is removably couplable to the base such that at least two of the apertures are associated with a specimen and each aperture defines a well with that specimen. Each well is configured to receive a sample material therein in contact with the specimen. A method includes disposing a specimen within a recessed portion of a test apparatus and coupling a top plate of the test apparatus to a base of the test apparatus such that a sealing engagement is formed between the top plate and the specimen. The top plate defines a plurality of apertures, each of at least two of the apertures collectively with the specimen defines a well. A sample material can be disposed within at least one well.

摘要： Systems and methods for coating medical devices are provided that allow for relatively precise control over the deposition area and coating uniformity with improved efficiency. A microdrop source is used to provide a flow of coating microdrops. A charging electrode disposed near the outlet of the coating source gives each microdrop an electrostatic charge. As the microdrop travels toward the medical device to be coated, a control electrode alters the trajectory of the microdrop. The invention can include a scanner to scan or image the medical device as the coating is applied and a control system to adjust parameters of the deposition process based on information provided by the scanner.
