HUMIMIC Chip2

The HUMIMC Chip2 allows the simultaneous culture of two different organ models. Cells and tissues can be used to emulate biological barriers like the intestine, lung or skin, as well as to grow spheroidal and matrix-supported cultures for mimicking the three-dimensional environment of organs like the liver.

Product description

The organ models are connected by microfluidic channels. An on-chip pump enables a near lifelike nutrient and oxygen supply to the cells. This allows for detailed studies of distribution and metabolization of various substances like drugs, cosmetics, chemicals, and food additives enabling the prediction of substance effects. The HUMIMIC Chip2 is designed for use with non-invasive in-process controls like fluorescence microscopy and other optical methods.

A control unit like the HUMIMIC Starter is necessary to operate the HUMIMIC Chip2.
