The microdish – as depicted in figure 3 – is a thin acrylic layer with pores which is superimposed on a layer of porous aluminum oxide. The wells depicted in figure 3 have a diameter of 180 um and a depth of 40 um. Because the bottom of the wells is porous, nutrients can freely diffuse through the material to any cell contained in the well. These cells will divide until they are physically constrained by the borders of the well. Therefore this is another platform potentially capable of inducing and monitoring oscillatory behavior of a population of ''E. coli''. |

In the following pictures our flow device is depicted. In figure 5, the device is seen without any of the bacterial growing platforms installed. In figure 6, the flow device is seen with a microdish installed in the appropiate socket, depicted in black in figure 4. In figure 7, the flow device is seen with a microsieve installed in the appropiate socket, depicted in purple in figure 4. | In the following pictures our flow device is depicted.
