An Introduction to Organ-on-a-Chip Technology
27 Jan 2025To bring drugs to market, scientists rely on different types of preclinical models — from 2D in vitro models to lab animals — that try to replicate human in vivo conditions. As conventional preclinical models have a difficult time approximating human biology, they fall short in predicting how humans will respond to drugs. Discover how next-generation organ-on-a-chip technology can improve disease research and drug development programs to increase efficiency and bring more life-saving treatments to market.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines.
