MICROBIAL COLONY SPOTTING CHAMBER FOR CULTURE OF SINGLE CELL MICROBIAL COLONIES AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A disposable colony spotting chamber for generation of single cell microbial colonies is provided. The disposable colony spotting chamber includes an entry orifice through which clinical sample can be fed into the colony spotting chamber. The entry orifice opens into a network of micron sized microfluidics chambers which are interconnected by microfabricated channels. The microfluidics chambers and microfabricated channels ensure that the clinical sample is distributed equally amongst the microfluidics chambers. The disposable colony spotting chamber further includes a sample release button that is when pressed releases the clinical sample on a petri dish from microfluidics chambers.
