    Abstract: An apparatus for collecting or culturing cells or cell colonies includes: a common substrate formed from a flexible resilient polymeric material and having a plurality of wells formed therein; and a plurality of rigid cell carriers releasably connected to said common substrate, with said carriers arranged in the form of an array, and with each of the carriers resiliently received in one of the wells. A method of collecting or culturing cells or cell colonies with such an apparatus is carried out by depositing a liquid media carrying cells on the apparatus so that said cells settle on or adhere to said the carriers; and then (c) releasing at least one selected carrier having said cells thereon by gradual application of release energy to each carrier from the cavity in which it is received (e.g., by pushing with a probe).

    Abstract: A method for creating a removable barrier in a microfluidic apparatus is carried out by: (a) providing a microfluidic apparatus having at least a first chamber and a second chamber, each including at least an inlet, wherein the first and second chamber are separated from one another by a plurality of barrier elements, the plurality of barrier elements defining a barrier zone, (b) introducing a liquid sample into the apparatus through the inlet of the first or second chamber to create a retained continuous liquid phase in one chamber, a continuous gas phase in the other chamber, and a gas/liquid interface between the first and second chamber at the barrier zone, (c) releasing the interface from the barrier elements, and (d) advancing the liquid phase past the barrier zone into the gas chamber displacing the gas phase. In some embodiments the barrier elements are hydrophobic (for example, the barrier elements comprise a hydrophobic polymer. Devices such as chemotaxis devices incorporating such methods are also described.
