The present protocol offers an option for the preparation and analysis of living primary and stem cell-based microarrays utilizing the standard microarray equipment (contact-free piezoelectric nanoprinter, microarray scanner), as well as microscopy.  We used live imaging microscopy for the online monitoring of cell spots in total size, staining of viable cells with Calcein acetoxymethyl ester (Calcein-AM) and treatment of MSCs with differentiation media to analyze the proliferation, viability, and differentiation potential of printed cells.
