Zusammenfassung:An assay plate assembly (1) to assay a cell culture model is described and comprises a first plate (2) having a plurality of well-receiving apertures (14) and a fluidic conduit (12, 13) configured to provide an assay fluid to the well receiving apertures, and a second plate (3) having a plurality of cell culture model assay wells (37) each comprising a lower well portion (41) with a well base (40) disposed in the second plate and an upper well portion (38) having an open top (39) defined by an annular sidewall that projects above a top surface of the second plate. The first and second plates are configured to nest together to form the assay plate assembly in which the upper well portion (38) of each cell culture model assay well (37) is disposed within a corresponding well-receiving aperture (14) of the first plate for receipt of fluid from the fluidic conduit (12, 13) through the open top of the cell culture model assay wells. The first plate is re-usable and the second plate is disposable.
