SynRAM Microvascular Network Chip

SynRAM™ delivers a physiologically realistic inflammation model (including flow and shear stress) and enables real-time visualization and quantitation of rolling, adhesion and migration processes in the leukocyte adhesion cascade.  Key features of this model include in vivo-like microvascular morphology with fully formed lumenized blood vessels, physiological flow, co-culture capability for endothelial-immune cell interactions and quantitative analysis of rolling, adhesion, and migration data from a single experiment. SynRAM has been successfully validated against in vivo studies showing excellent correlation for rolling velocities, adhesion patterns, and migratory processes. 

SynRAM inflammation-on-a-Chip model has been used to test drug or inflammation induced vascular injury, screen anti-inflammatory therapeutics and to model disease conditions like Sepsis and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
