A microfluidic device, method and kit for assaying and/or culturing cells are provided. The microfluidic device comprises a well block comprising a plurality of microwells; at least one cell culture layer selected from a first cell culture layer comprising a plurality of microchannels, each microchannel being aligned with one of the plurality of microwells and being in fluid communication with the aligned microwells; and a second cell culture layer comprising a plurality of cell culture chamber wells, each cell culture chamber well being aligned with one of the plurality of microwells and being in fluid communication with the aligned microwells, and a plurality of outlets, each of the plurality of outlets corresponding to one of the plurality of cell culture chamber wells; and a base block, wherein the at least one cell culture layer is sealably coupled between the well block and the base block, thereby allowing fluid communication between the plurality of microwells in the well block and the at least one cell culture layer. |
