  • a plate of polycarbonate of optical quality is glued against all the recesses so as to form the bottoms of what become individual wells.
  • Gluing plates together also negatively impacts the cost of the manufacture of the plate.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to make a plate of wells which presents none of these drawbacks and which, consequently, permits observations with a microscope, while at the same time being inexpensive to manufacture .
  • This purpose of the invention is achieved, as well as others which will become apparent upon reading the following description, by a method for the manufacture of a plate of wells of the type described in the preamble of the present description.
  • the method comprises the steps of: a) providing a mold, which is perforated by a plurality of holes arranged according to a distribution of wells to be formed; b) placing a sheet of thermoformable material on said mold and heating said sheet to a temperature where it is in the plastic state, and c) establishing a gas pressure between the two sides of the sheet, so that the material of said sheet, being perpendicular to the holes of the mold, is aspired into these holes thereby assuming the shape of wells whereby the bottoms of the wells are separated frcm any contact with other surfaces of the mold.
  • this method allows the two opposite surfaces of the bottom of a well to preserve an optical quality surface or finish state which is compatible with observation through this bottom, this optical finish remaining intact because during the molding, any contact between the bottom of the well and other surfaces capable of altering its surface state is avoided.
  • the invention provides a device comprising a) a mold having a side capable of receiving a sheet of the thermoformable material, said mold being perforated, perpendicularly to this side, by a plurality of holes, b) an enclosure delimiting with said mold a space, c) means to heat the sheet and to bring it to the plastic state, and d) a low- pressure gas generator which can selectively be connected to said space to thermoform wells in said sheet, by aspiration into said holes of the material of said sheet located perpendicular to said holes.
  • the method according to the invention allows the making of a plate of wells comprising a distribution of thermoformed wells in a sheet made of a thermoplastic material, which plate is characterized in that two sides of the wall of the wells formed in the sheet present an optical finish.

  • FIG. 1 of the drawing in the appendix where a cross-sectional representation is given of an enclosure 1 delimiting a space 2 which can be placed in communication with a low-pressure generator (not shown) through the intermediary of a pipe 3.
  • the enclosure is closed by a mold 4 which assumes the general shape of a planar plate perforated by cylindrical holes 5 l f 5 2 ,..., 5 , etc., having axes perpendicular to its surface.
  • These holes can also be conical and in that cast they have a conicity of 5-20°. They can have a circular or polygonal section, for example, square, rounded at the edges.
  • the holes preferably have identical geometry and they are arranged in a dense regular two-dimensional distribution, in lines and in columns.
  • the enclosure 1 is placed in an oven, after having placed a sheet of thermoplastic material such as an inorganic glass or an organic material such as a polycarbonate on the mold 4.
  • the surface state of the sheet must be of compatible optical quality with that which is desired for the walls of the bottoms of the wells to be made.
  • the oven is heated at a temperature where the glass reaches a viscosity compatible with a thermoforming operation.
  • a low pressure is established in the spact 2, compared to the gas pressure existing in the oven, and notably at the level of the surface of the plate opposite that which faces the space 2. Due to the gas pressure difference, the glass plate is deformed in the areas of this plate covering the holes 5 ⁇ . These areas are aspired towards the space 2 and they then gradually assume an approximately hemispherical shape.
  • the temperature of the plate, the duration of application of the low pressure in the enclosure 1 and the value of this low pressure are adjusted so that during the course of their progressive deformation, the aspired areas of the plat e remain constantly separated from the surfaces of the hole and from any other surface in general.
  • the manufacture of a plate 6 of wells l l r 7 2 .. • , l ⁇ , etc. is ensured, as represented in cross section in Figure 1, the two sides of the wall of each well presenting a perfect optical finish because of the absence of any contact between these surfaces and the surfaces of the mold during the operation of forming these wells by thermoforming under a vacuum.
  • the optical finish so obtained is very advantageous in the observation of biological cultures, for example, through the bottoms of the wells where these cultures are carried out.
  • the material used to make the plate is a material of optical quality, s 1 . h as an organic or inorganic glass.
  • the selection of a mineral glass is particularly appropriate, because of its chemical inertness.
  • the plate of well 6 according to the invention presents wells whose wall is thinner at the bottom of the wells than at their opening because of the vacuum thermoforming method used to make these wells.
  • the method of manufacture according to the invention thus allows the making of plates with wells having a small bottom thickness, less than 0.2 mm, for example, compatible with observations using a microscope with a very short focal length, such as, for example, confocal microscopes.
  • a microscope with a very short focal length such as, for example, confocal microscopes.
  • the lens 20 of such a microscope is shown in the position of observation of a bottom of a well, through a drop 21 :f an index- adapting liquid.
  • the plate is made from a planar glass sheet referenced 0211 in the catalogues of the company Corning Incorporated, this plate covering a surface of 80 mm x 116 mm and comprising 96, 384, or 1536 wells arranged in 8, 16, or 32 adjacent rows of 12, 24, or 48 wells, respectively.
  • the plate can also have the standard dimensions of a microscope slide (26 x 76 mm) and then comprise, for example, 60 or 250 wells.
  • the separation of the wells is compatible with the usual means for multichannel distribution with pipettes.
  • a mold 4 is made of a refractory alloy referenced NS 30 in the catalogues of the company UGINE (AFNOR Z12CN25-20), this mold being perforated by holes having a depth of 2 mm and a diameter of 2 mm, these holes being separated by walls having a thickness of at least 0.25 mm and advantageously presenting a clearance angle of 5-20°C [sic] .
  • Such holes can be obtained by mechanical or chemical machining.
  • an alcohol suspension of powdered calcium hydroxide is prepared, the latter having a granular size of less than 1 mm, and a dispersant is added, such as the agent DISPERBYK 190 from the company BYK Chemie (Germany) .
  • This suspension facilitates the separation of the plate of wells and the mold, after the thermoforming of this plate. Being applied against the top surface of the mold, this suspension does not affect the surface state of the bottom of the wells.
  • planar glass sheet is mounted on the mold 4 and the plate/mold/enclosure assembly is placed in an oven, the latter is heated to a temperature of approximately 675-695°C, and this temperature is maintained for approximately 5-7 min, while applying a 0.75-bar low pressure to the space 2.
  • the starting planar glass sheet preferably has a thickness of 0.3 mm.
  • the bottoms of the wells present, as seen above, a smaller thickness, in this instance approximately 0.160 mm.
  • Such a thickness is compatible with the focal length of the lenses of microscopes, notably confocal microscopes, which routinely are 0.2 mm.
  • Figure 2 represents a fraction of the surface of the plate obtained, as one can visualize it using a microscope with mechanical scanning.
  • the generally hemispherical shape of the well l ⁇ r 7 1+ ⁇ , etc. appears in this figure, which also shows that the openings of the wells are connected to each other by surfaces with a progressive curvature, without discontinuities.
  • This geometry is advantageous from at least two points of - r iew. It prevents air bubbles from being trapped on the surrace when cultures in a liquid medium are distributed in the wells. It also promotes the collection of live cells at the bottom of the wells as a result of gravity, as will be seen below.
  • Two methods can be used to distribute cultures in a liquid medium or, more generally, any liquid, in the different wells.
  • the first consists in using standard micropipettes, separated or in sets.
  • the second method consists in depositing on the plate a drop which simultaneously covers several adjacent wells. By gravity, this liquid spreads over the plate possibly filling other adjacent wells. If the liquids contain plant or animal cells, one can note that they distribute themselves as a result of gravity between the wells and they advantageously regroup at their bottoms.
  • a hydrophobic product such as a silane, for example.
  • a treatment of this surface contributes to the filling of the wells by preventing any liquid from remaining between them. It also avoids any communication of liquid between two adjacent wells after the filling of these wells.
  • This treatment permits the handling, without particular precaution, of a plate of 250 or 1536 wells having a diameter of 2 mm, for example, and such a plate can even be turned upside down for hanging-drop cultures, for example.
  • the plate 6 of wells according to the invention may be supported by means of an emptied frame 8 presenting an edge 8' against which the periphery of the plate 6 is rested, as shown in Figure 3.
  • the plate 6 can possibly be glued or welded to the frame 8, at the level of the edge 8'.
  • the frame 8 has a height which is greater than the thickness of the plate 6 so as to protect the bottom of the wells from any contact with a surface on which the frame is placed. The latter also facilitates the manual or automatic handling operations of the plate according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a representation of another embodiment of the device for the implementation of the method according to the invention, which is adapted to continuous production, and is also advantageous from an economical point of view.
  • the device comprises a reservoir (not shown) of a molten glass which discharges a sheet of glass 19 having an adjusted viscosity through a slit 9.
  • This sheet is taken up by a cylindrical drum 10 which is mounted so it can rotate around the fixed shaft 11 and so it is driven by means (not shown) at a predetermined speed.
  • the drum 10 is integrally connected to a cylindrical core 12 which is internal to the drum.
  • the surface of this core is slightly separated from the internal surface of the drum 10, resting against axial ribs such as 13 ⁇ , 13 2 , etc., formed, for example, on the core 12.
  • the fixed shaft 11 is hollowed out in the form of peripheral chamber 14 which communicates, through the intermediary of a radial channel 15 and an axial channel 16 with a low-pressure generator (not shown) .
  • the chamber 14 communicates at each instant with one of several radial channels, such as 17 ⁇ , 17 2 , 17 3/ etc., by one of the annular chambers such as 18 ⁇ , 18 2 , etc., present between the drum 10 and the core 12, at the level of the ribs 13 x .
  • the drum 10 plays the role of a mold for the sheet of glass 19 which envelopes this drum.
  • the drum is perforated by holes 5',., just like the mold 4 of Figure 1.
  • the low-pressure generator being connected to the pipe 16, the sheet 19 of glass which continually descends from the slit 9 is grabbed by aspiration by the surface of the drum, this sheet then enve. ⁇ ping this drum over approximately one-fourth of its surface.
  • the sheet 19 is subjected to a low pressure at the level of its side which is in contact with this drum, thanks to the pipe 17 x which transmits, at a given instant, a low pressure to the corresponding rotatory annular chamber 18 ⁇ , 18 2 .
  • the holes 5 perforated into the drum 10 then play the role of the holes 5 X of the mold of Figure 1, in the formation of wells in the sheet of glass 19, by separating the surface of these wells from any contact during their formation, as seen above in connection with Figure 1.
  • the flow rates of glass exiting the hopper 9, the speed of rotation of the drum, the temperature and the thickness of the sheet 19 as well as the low pressure applied to this sheet are adjusted so that essentially hemispherical wells are obtained, similar to those represented in Figure 1.
