VITROCELL SYSTEMS: solutions for cultivation and exposure in vitro

Scope of Activities

We offer customers from industry and research institutes new culture and exposure systems for in vitro studies of gases or complex mixtures. The VITROCELL® modules offer new possibilities for the characterization of the effects of airborne substances such as:

> Gases
> Complex mixtures
> Nano particles
> Fibres

Application Areas
- Combustion exhaust
- Cosmetics
- Household chemicals
- Indoor / outdoor air analysis
- Industrial chemicals
- Pesticides
- Pharmaceuticals
- Tobacco smoke (whole smoke and gas phase)

Direct Exposure Technology
at the Air / Liquid Interface
Primary cultures and cell lines, e.g. from the respiratory tract, are treated in modules specially designed for direct contact between cells and components of the test atmosphere at the air/liquid interface.

The advantages:

- No loss
- No solution / no dissolution
- No reaction of constituents with medium

The result: High sensitivity of the system
