Overview
A comprehensive Organ-on-a-Chip platform for endless research possibilities
Traditional Organ-on-a-Chip setups rely on complex and manual syringe pump setups that not only require high technical expertise, but also result in high variability in experimental success and results. We have created a suite of Organ-on-Chip instruments and accessories designed to make the technology more accessible, easier to use, and more reliable, so you can generate more reproducible and robust data.
Zoë® Culture Module
Bring your Organ-Chips to life
Zoë sustains the life of cells within our Organ-Chips, automating the precise conditions needed to culture up to 12 Organ-Chips.
Zoë features
Automated system
Easily program culture conditions for up to 12 Organ-Chips.
Flow
Adjust the media flow rate from 1-1,000 μL / hour depending on your experimental needs.
Stretch
Set the frequency and strain of cyclic stretch to recreate the mechanical forces of breathing or peristalsis.
Bubble reduction
Use our proprietary Regulate™ Cycle to help eliminate bubble formation—a common problem with syringe pump setups.
Orb® Hub Module
A scalable hub for the Zoë Culture Module
Orb connects to standard lab outputs and provide gas and stretch to up to four Zoë Culture Modules.
Orb features
Connects to up to four Zoës
Modularity makes it easy to install and run experiments in multiple Zoës.
Gas
Provides the precise mixture of CO₂ to Zoë.
Performance monitoring
Orb provides simple alerts to users if the system needs attention, helping
to maintain optimal study conditions.
Vacuum stretch
Supplies adjustable vacuum pump functionality for automated control of cyclic stretch.
Pod® Portable Module
A portable reservoir for media flow and sampling
The Pod is the interface between Organ-Chips and Zoë. It houses the chip, supplies media, collects effluent, and enables compatibility with laboratory equipment.
Pod featureS
Media flow & dosing control
Introduce nutrient media, precisely control compound dosing, and sample chip effluent for downstream analysis.
Portability and integration
Easily transport the Pod to your microscope for mid-experiment cell viability
and health checks while maintaining fluidic connection.
Imaging Adapters
Accelerate your
Organ-Chip imaging
Our imaging adapters organize Pods and fixed chips and for imaging and ensure compatibility with standard 96-well plate footprint advanced imaging equipment.
Imaging Adaptor Features
Mid-experiment visibility checks
The Pod Imaging Adapter organizes up to two Pods for quick cell viability and
health checks.
Fixed chip imaging
The Fixed Chip Imaging Adapter organizes up to 12 fixed chips for high-throughput imaging and helps reduce evaporation.
