Akura™ Next Generation Platforms
Academic Access Program
Adding physiological complexity with seamless continuity
Developing higher order systems that reflect real human biology is not easy. It typically requires an interdisciplinary research team of experts in the fields of bio-microfluidics, bioengineering, micro-fabrication technologies, and cell biology.
But you don't have to prepare a massive program grant to get started!
With the Akura™ Next Generation Academic Access Program, you can immediately start to use exciting new technology to investigate complex biological questions in your research.
One Microphysiological Platform, Endless Research Possibilities
- Add a new level of physiological complexity to spheroid/organoid assay
- Address questions that can't be answered in static / non-multi-tissue settings
- Ask biologically relevant questions and skip spending time and money on the platform development and bio-engineering issues
- Start tomorrow with multi-tissue systems using a powerful, yet easy to use plug-and-play microfluidic technology platform
- Take advantages of InSphero’s expertise and consulting in developing 3D models development, platform engineering and read out integration
Show us what you can do!
