SynTEER Multiplexed Chip
Integrated electrode design
SynVivo’s SynTEER™ model has integrated TEER electrodes engineered directly within the multiplex chip architecture. This unique design allows for convenient non-invasive determination of TEER in multiple devices simultaneously enabling confirmation of mature barrier formation and detection of barrier disruption within minutes of compound exposure.
SynTEER™ Advantages
- Real-Time Barrier Analysis – Monitor barrier formation, maturation, and disruption dynamically with integrated TEER sensing directly within the microfluidic chip architecture.
-
Integrated Electrode Design – Embedded electrodes eliminate cumbersome external electrode positioning while improving consistency and ease of use.
-
Rapid Detection of Compound Effects – Identify barrier disruption within minutes of compound exposure, enabling faster assessment of drug response, toxicity, and inflammation.
