HEK293-T cell viability on glass, SU8 films prepared according to protocols A to D in Fig. 3, Cr and Au-coated SU8 prepared according to protocol C in Fig. 3. (a) Fluorescence micrographs of HEK293-T cells plated on samples of SU8-A-D, and SU8/Au-C, indicating no significant differences in cell adhesion (squares) or cell viability count (triangles) with respect to glass. (b) Fluorescence micrographs of HEK293-T plated on chromium, showing a significant reduction in viable cell population with respect to glass.
