Human-on-a-Chip®

Functional in vitro models that accurately predict how new drug candidates will impact the human body – something that has previously required animal testing or human clinical trials to determine.

What’s on each Chip?

Systemic toxicology models with interlinked organs, including: heart, liver, lung, brain, skin, muscle, GI tract, kidney, pancreas, endocrine, bone marrow and the neuromuscular junction in a serum free, recirculating medium utilizing a pumpless platform.
