SynTox Idealized Radial Chip

SynTox™ toxicology-on-chip platform is designed for multi-cellular, multi-architecture applications (e.g. lung, liver, cardiac). This system closely mimics native tissue environments under dynamic flow conditions offering human-relevant assessments of drug-induced toxicity. With low reagent requirements and integrated real-time optical monitoring SynTox enhances throughput and cost-efficiency while delivering high-content data for early safety screening, disease modeling, and mechanistic toxicology studies. 

Vascular Model

complete lumen

Assess drug induced vascular injury.

Cardiac Model

cardiac cells

Drug toxicity on cardiac cells. Left panel indicates viable cells while right panel indicates mixture of live and dead cells following drug treatment.

Lung Model

10x stitch co-culture 250

Lung epithelial oxidative stress can be visualized using SynALI.

Liver Model

liver model

Acetaminophen toxicity on hepatocytes following bolus injection. Peripheral hepatocytes show severe toxicity.
