Perfused Tubules

Layered tissues with perfused tubules in the absence of artificial membranes form the heart of our permeability and transport science. Enabling you to study cell interactions, permeability, absorption, transport, and transcytosis
without physical barriers.

Why perfused tubules?

Permeability plays a pivotal role in drug research and development. It is one of the critical factors in the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties of drugs and their metabolites. To adequately predict ADME/PK and toxicity of your new compounds, it is key to understand their permeability in human tissues better.

We have optimized the OrganoPlate® platform for growing perfused tubules and assessing barrier function. In OrganoPlate®, you can grow tubules at almost any complexity: from epithelial monocultures to sophisticated co-cultures, including immune cells, blood vessels, and stromal tissue. This enables you to study drug adsorption, the loss of barrier function due to drug-induced toxicity, and the permeability of compounds in the intestine, kidney, retina, lung, skin, blood-brain barrier, and blood vessels.

All Applications

Features

  • Polarized tubular tissues against an extracellular matrix (ECM)
  • Easy apical and basolateral access
  • Perfusion of the tubules mimicking shear stress
  • No artificial membranes

 

Assays

  • Fluorescent barrier integrity assay
  • Transepithelial/endothelial electrical resistance (OrganoTEER®)
  • Expression of junctional markers (immunostaining)
  • Expression of transporters (RNA isolation and PCR, or immunostaining)
  • Transport assays, imaging or sampling-based
