A New Discovery in Every Chip by Initio Cell

At INITIO CELL, we develop patented multi-functional organ-on-a-chip devices and assays for drug discovery and diagnostics.

 

PRECISION MEDICINE

Classical drug discovery uses 2D cell culture coupled with animal testing for preclinical studies. Neither 2D cell culture nor animal testing truly recapitulate the in vivo micro environments of cells in a human body. The paradigm shift is to use 3D cell culture in organ-on-a- chip devices that can faithfully mimic the in vivo conditions. Using organ-on- chip technology is expected to reduce R&D costs (186 B $ in 2020) by 26%.

 

WHY CHOOSE INITIO CELL PRODUCTS ?

  1. Initio Cell provides organ-on-chip devices and assays for invasion/chemotaxis, distance dependent cell-cell interactions, extravasation and homing choices of cancer cells.
  2. Initio Cell organ-on-chip devices can be used to create microenvironments of the tumor, lung, gut, skin, brain and vasculature.
  3. Initio Cell provides organ-on-chip devices in both PDMS-glass and PC formats.
  4. Initio Cell organ-on-chip devices can be used with any cell type (including microorganisms), organoids, biopsy samples and virtually all hydrogels so that the users are free to define the specific conditions for their experiments.
  5. Initio Cell organ-on-chip devices can be loaded with standard pipet tips and micropipets.
  6. Initio Cell organ-on-chip devices can be imaged using optical, fluorescent and confocal microscopes in real time or at specific time points.
