1. A multi-well plate comprising:
- (a) a plate top comprising plate top openings; and
(b) a plate bottom mated to the plate top to define an array of wells of the multi-well plate corresponding to a 384-well plate configuration, wherein the plate bottom comprises a substrate having a top surface with a plurality of electrodes patterned thereon and a bottom surface with a plurality of electrical contact surfaces patterned thereon, wherein the plurality of electrodes and contact surfaces are electrically connected and patterned to define two or more independently addressable sectors within the array, wherein each sector comprises a set of two or more wells, and each of the sectors comprises fewer contact surfaces than wells in the sector.
