Abstract
Abstract MICROBILOGICAL REACTION CHAMBER APPARATUS HAVING A BOTTOM WALL AND SIDEWALLS WHICH IS USEFUL, FOR EXAMPLE, TO PRODUCE A TISSUE CULTURE DIRECTLY ON A BASE, SUCH AS A MICROSCOPE SLIDE, FOR SUBSEQUENT EXAMINATION AND STORAGE COMPRISES IN COMBINATION A BASE MEMBER WHICH FORMS THE BOTTOM OF SAID CHAMBER AND A RECEPTACLE MEMBER REMOVABLY ATTACHED BY CLAMPING MEANS IN LIQUIDIMPERMEABLE CONTACT WITH SAID BASE MEMBER. ONE ASPECT OF THE INVENTION RESIDES IN THE NOVEL RECEPTACLE COMPONENT USEFUL IN THE FABRICATION OF THE OVERALL APPARATUS. IN ONE USE OF THIS APPARATUS, A LIQUID TISSUE CULTURE MEDIUM CAN BE PLACED IN THE RECEPTACLE CHAMBER IN CONTACT WITH THE BASE, AND THE MEDIUM IS INCUBATED TO ALLOW THE TISSUE CULTURE TO GROW AND TO ATTACH SUCH GROWTH TO THE BASE.
