Abstract
A method for analysis of biological samples, implemented in a reversed open microwell system which includes an array of open microwells, a microchannel, an input port for reagents and/or biological samples and an output port. The ports are in microfluidic communication with the microchannel. The microchannel has a cross-section area of micrometric dimensions and provides fluid to the microwells. The microwell system is inserted in an automated management system that includes: an incubator at controlled temperature, humidity and CO2, fluid dispensing system, phase-contrast and fluorescence image acquisition. A kit introduces fluids in a microfluidic device that includes a tip. A microfluidic device and system include a microchannel and an input region having a vertical channel. The tip and the vertical channel are dimensioned to produce an interference coupling. A discharge region includes: a discharge container connected with the microfluidic device through a discharge channel and an output port.
