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 ). |
