These idealized co-culture designs are helpful tools in the organ-on-chip field to mimic cellular interactions in vitro and model several biological systems in 3D. This design is composed of a central chamber allowing 3D tissue culture surrounded by two outer channels, for the modeling of a wide range of cell-cell interactions.
Description
The IMN3 Radial organ-on-chip design is made of a central 3D chamber filled with pillars (tissue chamber) and two outer channels. This side-by-side architecture enables the co-culture of different cell types with real-time visualization. These platforms allow the modeling of physiological shear stress and in vivo-like morphology of tissues.
The separation between the central and outer channels can be done with either slits or pillars and are available in several dimensions. In both cases, slits/pillars are spaced at regular intervals to create a barrier between the inner and outer chambers.
In the central chamber, pillars have a diameter of 25µm and are spaced by 50µm.
These designs can be used in a wide range of applications, for which specific product pages can be found in our bundle section.
