Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to microplates. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to microplates having at least one retention structure within a well for providing mechanical retention of a dome of a supporting matrix having suspended cells.
  • two-dimensional cell cultures which provide a flat monolayer of cells, have helped researchers gain substantial knowledge and understanding of cell behavior, cell function and cell differentiation, researchers have observed that two-dimensional cell cultures provide markedly different behavior in cell polarity, stem cell differentiation, migration, gene expression, and tissue organization.
  • a supporting matrix for example, a hydrogel, is used as the three-dimensional scaffold in the organoid culture dome method.
  • the present disclosure relates to technology for three-dimensional organoid culture dome method.
  • the organoid culture dome method is an established procedure for forming dome structures in wells of microplates using a supporting matrix. While three-dimensional dome structures are commonly used in organoid models, there are several drawbacks to the organoid culture dome method.
  • forming three-dimensional dome structures within a well of a microplate requires extensive training and practice by an individual, and even still, results can be variable depending on the skill level of the individual. For example, the sizes of the dome structures can vary significantly since the individual is required to quickly disperse droplets into the wells to avoid gelation of the supporting matrix during the process. Having size variations of domes is not optimal for organoid culture consistency.
  • the domes are typically randomly placed when positioning multiple domes within a well. If the domes are placed too closely to each other, then dome fusion can occur due to the proximity of the neighboring domes. Moreover, a dome can collapse if an individual places the dome too close to the sidewall of a microplate well. Yet another common problem with the formation of dome structures is the loss of domes during the medium exchange process as a result of medium seeping between the domes and the surface of the microplate well.
  • the aforementioned challenges may be at least partially addressed by providing at least one retention structure within a well of a microplate for providing mechanical retention of a dome of a supporting matrix.
