Abstract
Methods of making a spheroid are provided whereby a suspension is first produced including one or more biologically-relevant materials dispersed within a biocompatible medium. A droplet of the suspension is then bioprinted into a salt solution by bringing the droplet into contact with a surface of the salt solution in a controlled manner to reproducibly yield a spheroid containing a desired size and a desired amount of biologically-relevant materials.
