ABSTRACT:
Device for replica plating of living cells. The device includes a rigid base having a side wall connecting a first upper surface and first lower surface, and a water absorbing fabric free from dye and preservatives having a second upper surface and a second lower surface. The second lower surface is fixedly bonded to the first upper surface in a manner which prevents any horizontal or vertical movement of the fabric which would cause inaccurate transfer of the cells by the device. The base further includes an adhesive tab positioned on the first lower surface. The tab is configured and arranged to fixedly secure the base to a flat surface and thereby fixedly secure the fabric in a positioned raised above the flat surface and accessible for replica plating of the cells. The device may also contain integral marking element and bumper guards.
