Products

Configurable multi-organ microphysiological platform

An integrated, reconfigurable in vitro platform that links multiple human tissue modules in a low-volume, serum-free, pumpless recirculating system with noninvasive functional readouts for preclinical testing and translational studies.


Services

Contract research services to evaluate compound efficacy, off-target toxicity, metabolite effects, and therapeutic index using configurable multi-organ in vitro platforms.

Design and build of bespoke multi-organ models incorporating selected organ and barrier tissues, patient-derived or iPSC cells, and bespoke assay metrics for specific research questions.

Computational modeling services that combine experimental concentration measurements and fluid dynamics to derive PK-PD relationships and extrapolate in vitro results toward in vivo outcomes.

Analytical measurement of parent compounds and metabolites in system media and compartments using HPLC–mass spectrometry to support PK profiling and metabolite identification.
