Shape synthesis of a well‐plate for electromagnetic stimulation of cells

In the paper, a device for in vitro electromagnetic stimulation of cells at low frequency (75 Hz) is studied and synthesized. In particular, shape and position of a well plate are identified to obtain a homogeneous stimulation and to maximize the space allotted to cell culture.
