Detailed information for construction of the aspiration-assisted bioprinter can be found in the supplementary information of the published paper.
For the second question, here are the steps:
- Spheroids were collected into a 1.5 ml conical tube from 96-well plate.
- The conical tube was transfer to the bioprinting platform, and removed the top of the tube by a scissors under sterile condition.
- The conical tube was then mounted on a 3D printed holder which helps to hold the tube straight.
- A customized glass pipette with ~80-micron diameter dipped at the bottom of the tube, and we apply 25 mmHg air for a second in order to levitate all spheroid.
- Then minimum lifting pressure was applied in order to pick and lift a spheroid into air.
- This was repeated as many times as needed.
