ABSTRACT:
A cell co-culture tool includes a body, an outer wall surrounding the body, and more than one vessel within the perimeter of the outer wall. Each vessel has a top edge below a rim of the outer wall.A method of interacting a substance with more than one type of cell material in a culture dish having a plurality of wells includes depositing a different type of the cell material in separate wells of the culture dish, interconnecting the wells with a fluid medium, and adding the substance to the fluid medium.
