Cell Culture Modelling
Testis Micro Early Diagnosis Kit
A diagnostic kit for preclinical research built on human-specific cell lines and microchip technology — a faster, more ethical alternative to animal testing.

Testis Micro is an early-diagnosis kit that brings together human-focused microchip technology and test-specific cell lines for preclinical research. A testis-specific microchip hosts 3D cell culture that mimics the physiological environment, and candidate drugs and chemical substances are evaluated in that setting.
The model rests on a cell culture model built with a Lab-on-a-Chip approach to study the dynamics of the blood–testis barrier within the testicular microenvironment. It provides a basis for permeability studies in reproductive biology and pharmacology.
