| 1. A kit for assaying cells comprising:
at least one slide comprising an upper surface;
a base layer laid on said upper surface, said base layer comprising a first matrix and a plurality of spots, wherein the plurality
of spots comprise a plurality of active agents; and
a second matrix for mixing with, or for layering atop of, cells to be assayed, and for forming a top layer on top of the base
layer;
wherein the first matrix supports anchorage-independent cell groth when the kit is used; and wherein the second matrix limets
cell migration and allows three-dimensional cell growth.
