This work investigated the feasibility of 3D printing to render the microfluidic large-scale integration (mLSI) technique compatible with 3D human stem cell cultures and enable high-throughput studies on organ-on-a-chip devices. For this, a robust manufacturing process applying 3D-printed molds and traditional multi-layer soft lithography was developed. Based on this process, two mLSI platforms enabling the long-term culture, non-destructive handling, and analysis of 3D stem cell cultures in an automated and reliable manner were designed and characterized.
