5 tips to recreate the digestive system to revolutionize in-vitro testing

30 Oct 2024

The golden age of microbiome research extends beyond scientific discovery, it also focuses on applying these findings to improve human health. Over the last 15 years, there has been a surge in research on the gut microbiome (GM), yielding fascinating insights into the microorganisms that inhabit our gastrointestinal tract.

Research has revealed that the GM varies significantly between individuals and is influenced by factors such as health status and diet, which complicates data comparison. While in vivo analysis is typically preferred for understanding the science behind the GM, it is not always feasible. Discover how H.E.L Group has simulated the digestive tract for in vitro testing, reducing time and resources while enhancing our knowledge and insights.

Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.Digestion and ExtractionDigestion and extraction apparatus are used in sample preparation to break down samples or extract organic or aqueous compounds from a solid. Digestion may be conducted via hot block, microwave or Kjeldahl digestion apparatus. Extraction systems typically involve solvent extraction and include Soxhlet, Randall or Twisselmann extraction methods. Find the best digestion and extraction apparatus in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.BioreactorMicrobiomeMicrobiome research focuses on the complex communities of microorganisms living in and on humans, animals, plants, and environments. It plays a crucial role in health, disease, and ecological balance. Explore tools and resources for microbiome analysis, including sequencing platforms and bioinformatics software.
