Abstract:
1. A device for culturing a biologic in a culture medium, the device comprising: a culture dish including a bottom wall and at least one sidewall projecting therefrom to define an interior cavity, the bottom wall being generally planar and configured to support the biologic thereon; a pair of spaced apart ridges formed side-by-side in the bottom wall and extending in a common direction to define an elongated channel therebetween, with each of the pair of ridges projecting upwardly from the bottom wall along a respective entire length thereof and having a height that is sufficient to baffle the motion of the culture medium so as to reduce fluid disturbances of the biologic during use; a first compartment located on one side of the pair of ridges; a second compartment located on the other side of the pair of ridges; and at least one barrier wall within at least one of the first or second compartments for partitioning the at least one of the first or second compartments into first and second interior spaces for receiving at least one of a first and a second biologic respectively therein, the at least one barrier wall having a height configured to maintain the first biologic in the first interior space separate from the second biologic in the second interior space, wherein the height of the ridges is less than the height of the at least one barrier wall.
