Abstract:

A method for producing highly uniform cell colonies in a cell culture dish with the use of stencils made from an elastomeric sheet sized to fit within the cell culture dish, having a singular opening or a plurality of openings of a number, pitch and diameter configured to optimally control the geometric growth parameters of a cell colony. The uniform cell colonies are produced by placing the stencil in a cell culture dish and hydropilizing the stencil. The stencil is overlayed with cell culture media and seeded with seed cells that are preferably grown for at least a day before the stencil is removed to produce a pattern of seeded cells with controlled pitch, colony diameter and density within the culture dish that grow to become highly uniform cell colonies. A kit with culture dish, stencil, culture media and growth media is also provided.
