    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Cell Biology
    • Tissue Engineering

    Background:

    • Hydrogels are crucial for studying cell-microenvironment interactions.
    • Current hydrogel fabrication methods are time-consuming and limit multiplexing.
    • A need exists for efficient, scalable hydrogel platforms for cell culture.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a modular fabrication approach for generating distinct hydrogel microenvironments.
    • To increase throughput and reduce fabrication time and material usage.
    • To enable both 2D and 3D cell culture applications within a single platform.

    Main Methods:

    • A modular fabrication strategy was implemented in a 96-well plate format.
    • In situ mechanical characterization of elastic and viscoelastic hydrogels.
    • Assessment of cell viability and culture metrics using microplate readers and high-content imaging.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a 3-fold reduction in polymer and up to an 8-fold reduction in fabrication time per replicate.
    • Demonstrated feasibility for both 2D cell culture (population and single-cell levels) and 3D cell culture with high viability.
    • Successfully generated diverse hydrogel microenvironments within the same plate.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed modular fabrication approach is versatile, adaptable, and efficient.
    • This platform enhances throughput for hydrogel-based cell culture studies.
    • It supports the integration of advanced hydrogel technologies for cell biology research.
