Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: CI is an employee of a company that manufactures culture disposables from porous aluminum oxide, but this work is not part of the core commercial interests of MicroDish BV. JFM received grants from Astellas, Merck, Basilea and Schering-Plough. He has been a consultant to Astellas, Basilea and Merck and received speaker's fees from Merck, Pfizer, Schering-Plough and Janssen Pharmaceutica. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
