A more Accurate Model for Better Research
The SynBBB microchip offers a unique, physiologically accurate model of the blood-brain barrier. With its realistic circular architecture and flow conditions, the SynBBB chip closely mimics the in-vivo environment.
Unlike conventional models, which often fail to replicate the complex dynamics of the blood-brain barrier, SynBBB allows for better simulation of physiological conditions, leading to results that are more reflective of actual biological processes. SynVivo’s technology aim to give researchers more trustworthy data.

Neuroprotection Studies
Testing neuroprotective drugs requires a blood-brain barrier model that truly reflects in-vivo conditions. Based on a real brain-tissues, the SynBBB's realistic architecture and physiological flow allow you to evaluate drug effects in a better controlled environment. By closely replicating actual BBB conditions, SynBBB helps you measure the protective potential of compounds against neurodegeneration. So you get results that you can translate more effectively to real-world applications.
NeuroOncology
Studying the interaction between tumor cells and the blood-brain barrier demands a physiologically accurate model. SynBBB's in-vivo-like architecture and realistic flow create the conditions you need to investigate how tumor cells infiltrate the BBB. You will be able to evaluate more precisely potential therapeutic interventions. Accurate simulation in earlier stage helps you better understand cancer's progression in the brain and develop more effective treatments targeting the BBB.
