Abstract
A micro-patterned plate composed of an array of releasable elements surrounded by a gel or solid wall and methods of manufacture of the micropatterned plate. The surface properties of walls can be tailored if needed to be repellent or attracting to proteins. The walls can also inhibit cell attachment. The walls enable cells or other materials to be localized to the tops of the releasable elements. The individual element in the array of releasable elements can be released from the array by a mechanical force.
