| Abstract | This work presents a novel tool, the Continuous Flow Microspotter (CFM) and its use in patterning cellular microarrays of multiple cell types into the bottom of a tissue culture well. The CFM uses a system of isolated microfluidic channels to make an array of localized microspots of adhesion dependent cells in the bottom of a conventional tissue culture well. With this device we have created micropatterns of multiple cell lines in a single tissue culture well and used this system to conduct simultaneous cytotoxicity tests and recover dose survival curves in a parallel study. This mechanism of parallel testing allows the researcher to employ the use of positive and negative controls, as well as compare the chemical response of phenotypes in a tightly controlled microenvironment. For the experiments presented in this paper we have fabricated a CFM with a set of ten microchannels (five inlet channels and five outlet channels) to pattern a row of five microspots consisting of four cellular microspots and one empty spot for background measurements. Micropatterns containing a set of four different Chinese hamster ovarian cell (CHO) mutant phenotypes were deposited into the bottom of commercially available tissue culture wells then interrogated with mitomycin C, a chemotherapeutic agent. This study shows statistically significant (P < 0.05) hypersensitivity of the UV20 CHO mutant to a DNA interstrand cross-linking agent (mitomycin C). Because the CFM is also capable of depositing proteins and other biomolecules to the individual microspots of the array we foresee capabilities of the 48 microspot CFM to multiplex 48 cell types with 48 chemical reagents all within the confines of a 60 mm2 area. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
