Here we describe the fabrication and preservation of mammalian cell-containing hydrogel microarrays that have potential applications in drug screening and pathogen detection. Hydrogel microstructures containing murine fibroblasts were fabricated on silicon substrates and subjected to a "stage-down" freezing process. The percent viability of both immortal and primary embryonic murine fibroblast cells within the gels was determined at various stages in the freezing process, showing that cells entrapped in hydrogel microstructures remained viable throughout the process. When compared to immortalized adherent cultures subjected to the same freezing process, cells within hydrogel structures had higher cell viabilities at all stages during preservation. Finally, the necessity of using a cryoprotectant, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), was investigated. Cells in hydrogels were cryopreserved with and without DMSO. The addition of DMSO altered cell viability after the freeze-thaw process, enhancing viability in an immortalized cell line and decreasing viability in a primary cell line. |
