 The ability to monitor and manipulate the microenvironment of cells and tissues is one of the most promising applications for microengineered systems. Because of the wide utility of these miniaturized devices, development of novel fabrication strategies is a major ongoing research focus and there remains a need for simple, robust strategies to fabricate complex 3-D microstructures from a wide range of materials. We have developed simple, inexpensive fabrication methods utilizing photoresists, plastics, and hydrogels for cell-based arrays, organ-on-chips, and tissue scaffolds. The fabricated devices include detachable, deformable, or biodegradable array elements designed for cell analysis and sorting. Replica molding for polymers such as polystyrene was utilized to produce biologically acceptable fluidic devices and arrays. Finally, we present a novel method to fabricate a variety of 3-D microstructures with curved surfaces and complex architectures for applications in optics and cell/tissue scaffolds.
