Abstract:	In vitro testing of drug compounds on cell models during the drug development process represents an indispensable step in the initial screening process. Although drug testing on 3D cultured cells may provide a more accurate prediction of drug efficacy, it is relatively costly and time-consuming to perform compared with conventional 2D cultures due to the thick z-axis of the 3D models. In this study, we have presented a microfluidic platform with integrated pneumatic valves for producing a thin-gel 3D cell culture-based combinatorial drug screening array (3D-microCDS array). The multilayer architecture and microfluidic layout has a smaller device footprint than a single-layer microfluidic channel arrangement, making it well suited to scaling up for high-throughput combinatorial drug screening on 3D cell model. We performed 8 x 8 combination drug screening experiments with the device using two anti-cancer drugs (doxorubicin and paclitaxel) on MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines for demonstration. Our results indicate that our 3D-microCDS array device allows the successful screening of multiple drug combinations while reducing the operation time and the number of sample/reagents required, making it an ideal tool for general combinatorial drug screening, as well as for applications using valuable tissues and clinical samples.
