AlveoliX AXLung-on-Chip System

AXLung-on-Chip-System.webp

The AXLung-on-Chip System allows in vitro modeling in outmost physiological conditions by replicating the essential key features of the lung microenvironment.

  • Ultrathin, porous, and elastic support for cell growth

  • Breathing motion

  • Air/Liquid Interface

  •  3D tissues (multiple co-cultures)

The combination of the breathing-induced cyclic stretch and the optimized ultrathin cell culture substrate (AX membrane) preserves lung cells’ functionality and phenotype. The technology provides answers to fundamental questions about lung biomechanics and cell biology. Furthermore, it is a powerful tool to recreate healthy, diseased, and personalized in vitro models, which can be implemented in drug development to test molecule efficacy and safety, and in toxicity assessment of e. g. pollutants, chemicals and consumer goods. This will hopefully lead to more animal free product development in the future.

AXLung-on-Chip System components

Aside the AX12, the system is made up of three further components: two pneumatic controllers, AX Breather and AX Exchanger, and the AX Dock which is the interface between these two devices and the AX12.

  • AXBreather: The AXBreather controls the deflection of the micro-diaphragm inside the AX12, recreating the 3D cyclic breathing motion.

  • AXExchanger: The AXExchanger enables a fluid flow for initial chip filling and medium exchange by pneumatically controlling the opening and closing of the valves inside the AX12.

  • AXDock: The AXDock connects the AX12 with the AXBreather and the AX Exchanger creating an air-tight sealing for the pneumatic actuation.

  • AX12: The AX12 is the cell culture consumable and is based on a 96-well plate format. It consists of two chips ­supported by a plate and includes a total of 12 independent wells.

AlveoliX 3D Breathing concept

A nature-inspired concept is used to recreate the breathing motion. The ultrathin AXmembrane (blue) is deflected by applying negative pressure inside the basal chip chamber through an integrated micro-diaphragm (grey).
