What is this invention?

Netwell assay plate system

The VIB VZW invention, a device and method for growing and screening of plant samples, is a specialized multiwell plate system well-suited for housing granular media. This system can be used in vivo to screen methods of uninterrupted plant tissue growth.

The device and method of the invention allow for an uninterrupted growth of plant tissue in a multiwell plate system. This is beneficial for screening methods that require prolonged observation, such as those used to identify genetic mutations or drug resistance. Additionally, because the device can house granular media, it can be used in other in vivo assays as well.

What are some key features of the invention?

• Device for growing and screening plant samples

• Multiwell plate system well-suited for housing granular media

• In vivo screening methods of uninterrupted plant tissue growth

What are some similar inventions on the market?

There are a few similar products on the market that could be used in conjunction with the VIB VZW invention. One example is the Lab-on-a-Chip system, which can also be used to house granular media and perform in vivo screenings of methods of uninterrupted plant tissue growth. Additionally, other multiwell plate systems such as the Labcyte 6000 or BD Biosciences' BioTek 2660 could also be utilized for these purposes.

How could this be used?

The device and method of the invention provide a specialized multiwell plate system well-suited for housing granular media, which can be used in vivo screening methods of uninterrupted plant tissue growth. By allowing for continuous cultivation of plant cells in vitro, it is possible to determine the effects of various treatments on plant growth and development with greater accuracy and precision than ever before. The device also has numerous other applications, such as research into crop improvement or identification of pathogen strains affecting plants.

Overall, I am impressed by the innovation behind the product and its potential impact on research and development

Final comment expressed in a poem (written by an A.I.)

There once was a device called the "invention"
That was well-suited for plant tissue growth.
It had a multiwell plate system,
Which made it perfect for screenings.
