How do you assess compound-induced Caco-2 toxicity?

Take your gut research to the next level with our 40 or 64 ready-to-use Caco-2 tubules to assess gut permeability, compound toxicity, and transport.

Do you want to perform your toxicology experiments in human-relevant, 3D tissue models but don’t have the time or experience to build your own? And why spend 21 days to culture Caco-2 in Transwells when you could get started with your assay right away?

A crucial part of developing novel and successful therapies for unsolved diseases entails the identification of adverse drug-induced effects in the preclinical phase of drug development to avert organ injuries and further complications at later stages. Permeability is a pivotal factor in contributing to such drug-induced effects, influencing the drug’s toxicological effects to the intestinal barrier and overall efficacy by absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties.

Get started with our OrganoReady® Colon Caco-2 today, featuring ready-to-use perfused Caco-2 tubules to assess permeability, absorption, transport, compound toxicity and barrier integrity (TEER) without any culturing time.

OrganoReady Caco-2:
how it works


The Caco-2 tubules allow for apical and basal access, enabling barrier integrity and transport assays. The model lends itself to study toxicity, transport, and disease or can be used for fundamental research on the intestinal barrier.

Here we show an example of the Caco-2 intestinal tubule grown against an extracellular matrix (ECM). The tubule shows clear lumen and the arrows indicate the apical and basal sides of the culture.
