Four drugs, namely Bortezomib (BZ), Epirubicin (EP), Cisplatin (Cis), and Vorinostat (VR) were used to screen Jurkat cells (a–c) and MDA-MB-231 cells (d–f), as models for suspended and adherent cancer cells respectively, on three drug screening platforms using 96-well plate, 384-well plate and our chip assay. A horizontal dashed line was drawn at 50% cell viability for comparison of IC50 between different screening methods. All graphs were plotted by cell viability (y-axis) against the log of final drug concentration (x-axis); error bars denoted standard deviation of mean cell viability obtained from all replicates in parallel experiments, except for the chip assay of Cisplatin-treated MDA-MB-231 cells (f) where error bars denoted standard deviation of mean cell viability obtained from all droplets of two independent experiments.
