BIOLOGICAL MICROFLUIDICS CHIP AND RELATED METHODS
First Claim
1. A biological microfluidics chip comprising:
- a substrate;
a microfluidic inlet port defining an opening in a surface of the substrate;
a microfluidic outlet port defining an opening in a surface of the substrate;
a plurality of wells extending from a top surface of the substrate, wherein each well is bounded by one or more walls, and an inlet opening and an outlet opening are provided in a wall of each of the plurality of wells;
one or more microfluidic inlet channels in the substrate that connect the microfluidic inlet port to each of the inlet openings in the walls of the wells; and
one or more microfluidic inlet channels in the substrate that connect each of the outlet openings in the walls of the wells to the microfluidic outlet port.

Abstract
A biological microfluidics chip (100) comprising a substrate (102), a microfluidic inlet port (104) defining an opening in a surface of the substrate (102), and a microfluidic outlet port (106) defining an opening in a surface of the substrate (102). The biological microfluidics chip (100) also comprises a plurality of wells (108) extending from a top surface (110) of the substrate, wherein each well (108) is bounded by one or more walls, and an inlet opening (112) and an outlet opening (114) are provided in a wall of each of the plurality of wells (108). An inlet microfluidic channel (116) is provided in the substrate (102) to connect the microfluidic inlet port (104) to each of the inlet openings (112) in the walls of the wells, and an outlet microfluidic channel (118) is provided in the substrate to connect each of the outlet openings (114) in the walls of the wells to the microfluidic outlet port (106).
