A multi-well culture dish assembly is provided which includes an insert having rows of frustoconical enclosures and a well plate in which the enclosures are suspended. The insert includes a top wall having a peripheral flange, the enclosures being integral with and extending downwardly from the top wall. Each enclosure includes a radial opening which extends into the upper portion of the enclosure. Rows of openings are formed in the top wall of the insert, and respectively adjoin the radial openings in the enclosures. The relatively large pipette openings are formed by the adjoining openings. The well plate may include rows of cylindrical wells. The enclosures are positioned within the wells and are radially offset with respect thereto. The openings within the top wall of the insert are in registration with the wells when the insert is mounted to the well plate.
