Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) On-a-Chip Model Introduction

By using advanced microfluidic technology, nanofabrication, and integrated sensors, Creative Biolabs provides you with a new generation of in vitro engineered microphysiological blood-brain barrier (BBB) on-a-chip model, which is capable of mimicking the basic function of the BBB in vivo. Our BBB-on-a-chip model can be used in a wide range of applications, including central nervous system (CNS) disease models, high-throughput screening of new therapeutics, and neurotoxicity testing.

Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) on-a-chip Model Introduction

Our technology has been applied to overcome the limitations of conventional BBB models, which include the lack of physiological relevance, the limited barrier integrity, the inconsistent expression of transporters and receptors, and the limited long-term stability. The scientists with rich experience at Creative Biolabs have advanced the design of BBB on-a-chip model. We use a porous membrane to separate chambers that one comprises endothelial cells (ECs) and the opposite side consists of astrocytes and pericytes. This approach results in improved functionalities of the BBB. Talk to our experts about your specific requirement.

Advantages of Our Blood-Brain Barrier-on-a-chip Model

  • Provide a highly controlled cellular microenvironment to assess physiological and pathological responses of the BBB to stimuli.
  • Suitable for co-culturing various types of cells, allowing for high-resolution imaging, and monitoring intracellular and extracellular responses.
  • Incorporating shear stress on endothelial cells, recapitulating the in vivo conditions present in the human brain endothelium.

Wide Applications

Our versatile BBB-on-a-chip Model supports a wide range of potential applications, such as toxicology studies, the development of novel therapeutics, drug screening, and fundamental brain research. This innovative technology is a promising alternative to reduce animal studies and provide opportunities for high-throughput or single-cell manipulation.
