Evaluation and optimization of PolyJet 3D-printed materials for cell culture studies.

ABSTRACT: Use of 3D printing for microfluidics is a rapidly growing area, with applications involving cell culture in these devices also becoming of interest. 3D printing can be used to create custom-designed devices that have complex features and integrate different material types in one device; however, there are fewer studies studying the ability to culture cells on the various substrates that are available. This work describes the effect of PolyJet 3D-printing technology on cell culture of two cell lines, bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAECs) and Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells, on two different types of printed materials (VeroClear or MED610). It was found that untreated devices, when used for studies of 1 day or more, led to unsuccessful culture. A variety of device treatme
