Why OoC?
OoC is a technology that enables scientists to study highly realistic models of tissues and diseases. It also offers the possibility to observe these studies live and to work directly with human cells. It is an attractive alternative to controversial and costly animal experiments and is physiologically much more accurate than conventional cell culture experiments.
Challenges
Challenges of OoC
Blocked infrastructure
Conventional systems block the infrastructure by occupying various devices
Integrated
Everything for your OoC experiment is integrated in our device
Lack of adaptivity
Limited to individual organs; Not all parameters are controllable; Conventional closed systems are hardly expandable
Expandable
The system can be extended to meet your specific requirements
Difficult entry
Difficult entry for scientists without experience with OoC
Simple
By making it easy to use, we facilitate access to OoC
High costs
Previously associated with high acquisition costs
Cost-effective
Due to the favorable price, the investment is amortized more quickly
How it works
Procedure of an experiment with VitrofluidiX
Below you can see a sample experiment setup with VitrofluidiX.
Step 1
First, you set the parameters and store in the system which media you want to use. Predefined protocols for different organs with correspondingly set parameters and media are available. However, you also have the option of creating your own protocols or adapting the parameters and media to your research project. In the next step, you place the corresponding media in the openings provided.
Step 2
Now comes the central part of the experiment: the organ-on-a-chip. Here, the corresponding cells of the organ to be simulated are implanted into the chip. The finished chip is then inserted into the incubation chamber and connected to the device. For the chips, you can choose between a single-organ-on-a-chip (2-roof usable) and a double-organ-on-a-chip. You can also use a specially designed chip.
Step 3
When you have completed the previous steps, you can start the experiment. The organ simulation begins!
