  • the present invention relates generally to microfluidic devices and systems for cell culture and/or cell assays, and, specifically, to a static well chip that is compatible with pipetting or robotic systems.
  • Whole organisms such as the Xenopus embryo, enable analysis of normal embryonic development, response to infection, and development of therapeutic countermeasures. As such, whole organisms are ideal for screening compounds as part of the therapeutic development pipeline, but current screens rely on mice and other larger animals that are not amenable to scaled-up screens of hundreds or thousands of embryos. Embryos from fish and amphibians are attractive model systems in that they are small (millimeter scale), easy to culture, and well-representative of human pathways. Although Xenopus and zebrafish embryos are now used by many companies and academic groups to screen drugs, most rely on genetic or other reporters of pathway function and typically are conducted as endpoint assays.

Static wells/chips are optimized by measuring embryo position in the chips over development, and the best chips minimized motion of embryos.
