Abstract
A cell and medicament dispensing device for drug screening is configured to dispense minute amount of cells and medicaments. The device has a base, a transfer plate serving mechanism, a transfer plate positioning mechanism, an injection mechanism, a cell culture plate positioning mechanism, and a dispensing mechanism. The transfer plate serving mechanism moves a transfer plate to the transfer plate positioning mechanism. The injection mechanism injects cells and medicaments into recesses in the transfer plate. A cell culture plate is fixed in the cell culture plate positioning mechanism. The dispensing mechanism moves back and forth between a position above the transfer plate and a position above the cell culture plate to dispense the cells or medicaments from the transfer plate to the cell culture plate. As a result, the process of drug screening is automated to reduce labor and improve quality significantly.
