Abstract:
1. A device for decantation deposition of cells on an analysis plate ( 1 ), said cells being contained in a cell suspension ( 4 ) comprising a cell preservation liquid, said suspension being poured into a reception chamber ( 5 ) comprising a body ( 10 ) having a wall with an uppermost surface and a lowermost surface, the reception chamber ( 5 ) placed above the analysis plate ( 1 ) and the bottom ( 6 ) of said reception chamber is open and extends opposite a cell deposition area ( 7 ) of the analysis plate ( 1 ), the bottom ( 6 ) of the reception chamber ( 5 ) being in fluid communication with a layer of an absorption material means ( 14 ) for the preservation liquid in order to absorb the preservation liquid gradually and permit homogeneous decantation deposition of the cells onto the cell deposition area ( 7 ) of the analysis plate ( 1 ), the absorption material means ( 14 ) being disposed about the cell deposition area ( 7 ), and the bottom ( 6 ) of the reception chamber ( 5 ) being set at a distance from the analysis plate ( 1 ) in order to delimit, between the reception chamber ( 5 ) and the analysis plate ( 1 ), a path for fluid communication between the reception chamber ( 5 ) and the absorption material means ( 14 ), wherein the layer of the absorption material means ( wherein the layer of absorption material means (
