(a) Side view of a DEX phase drop in the immersion PEG phase formed on a glass surface using equilibrated phases from an ATPS with initial concentrations of 6.4% DEX and 5% PEG. (b) A top-view of A431.H9 skin cancer cell spheroid formed with a cell density of 1×104 cells at 24 hrs. (c) Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of A431.H9 cells after one week of incubation. (d) Spheroids generated using a wide range of density of cells, i.e. 1×103 1×105 cells/spheroid, to demonstrate the feasibility of forming different size tumor models.
