Abstract
Methods are provided for the large-scale high-content analysis of biological samples. In some embodiments, the methods are implemented in a reversed open microwell system that includes an array of open microwells, at least one microchannel, at least one input port and at least one output port. In certain embodiments, the reversed open microwell system can be inserted in an automated management system which includes an incubator at controlled temperature, humidity and CO2 levels, a fluid dispensing system, and is capable of phase-contrast and fluorescence image acquisition. Also provided are kits for introducing fluids into a microfluidic device, and systems for discharging one or more fluids in a microfluidic device.
