SynTumor™ Cancer-on-a-Chip Platform
SynTumor™ Cancer-on-a-Chip is SynVivo’s advanced 3D tumor model, designed to replicate in vivo-like tumor microenvironments under dynamic flow conditions. Featuring microvascular networks with controlled pore sizes, this cancer-on-a-chip platform enables quantitative and real-time visualization of cell-cell and cell drug interactions across tumor, stromal, vascular, and immune cells, providing insights into delivery, penetration, and efficacy in a human-relevant in vitro context.
Advantages of SynTumor™
- Human-relevant 3D tumor microvascular modeling
- Controlled flow conditions for physiologically accurate drug delivery studies
- Real-time visualization of tumor-endothelium-drug dynamics
- Modular chip architecture (linear, radial, network) for diverse applications
- Supports NAMs framework for non-animal oncology models
Research Applications
SynTumor™ enables diverse oncology applications with high relevance and precision:
- Tumor Drug Delivery Studies – Investigate how tumor vasculature and flow influence drug distribution and penetration
