  • Deposition of combinatorial hydrogel spots (alginate-based with chitosan, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and gelatin) onto the patterned surfaces.
  • In vitro cell culture of L929 fibroblast cells and MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells within hydrogels.
  • Assessment of cell viability and number using MTS reduction assays, dsDNA quantification, and non-destructive imaging.

    • Main Results:

    • The platform successfully isolated combinatorial hydrogel spots, enabling independent testing.
    • Cell viability and proliferation varied significantly based on hydrogel composition and cell type.
    • L929 cells favored higher alginate and collagen content, while MC3T3-E1 cells preferred lower alginate and chitosan content.
    • Gelatin addition did not significantly impact cell metabolic activity or number.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed array-based screening platform is effective for high-throughput evaluation of biomaterials in tissue engineering.
    • Hydrogel composition critically influences cell behavior, highlighting the need for tailored biomaterials.
    • This platform facilitates the optimization of biomaterials for specific cell types and tissue engineering applications.
