Understand and Model Complex Microenvironments
SynTumor offers the ability to replicate and understand the complex environments of tumors and cancer cells. Using advanced microfluidic technology, it can model the intricate interactions between cancerous cells, vascular structures, and the tumor microenvironment in a 2D or 3D format. It allows the study of tumor behavior, progression, and responses to therapies. With a controlled and highly realistic setting, it bridges the gap between in vitro studies and clinical outcomes.

Monitor Tumor Cells Behavior in Real-Time
SynTumor enables the real-time monitoring of phenotypic behaviors of tumor cells, and provides a dynamic view of cancer cells interactions in their microenvironment. Its side-by-side channel configuration allow for better imaging results and a continuous observation. You can easily track cellular responses and morphological changes, and monitor the progression of the disease. Identifying key factors influencing tumor growth and metastasis, would lead the way to more targeted and effective therapeutic solutions.

Easily Assess Drug Delivery, Efficacy, and Toxicity
SynVivo’s unique microchip design with a vascularized structure mimics the natural delivery pathways of the human body. It allows you to evaluate how drugs penetrate and affect tumor tissues in a more realistic setting. This precise design, modeled on real human-vascular system patterns, ensure higher fidelity on drug interactions, effectiveness, and potential side effects. SynTumor's ability to mimic the in-vivo complexities results in more reliable preclinical data, accelerating the development of safer and more effective cancer treatments.
Screening of polymers for gene delivery accurately reproduces in vivo responses (candidate A and B both perform well when directly injected into tumor, while under vascular injection candidate A performs well and candidate B performs poorly).
