Bionas and PRIMACYT to cooperate on cell-based assay for prediction of hepatotoxic effects of drugs and chemicals
Primary human hepatocytes, provided by PRIMACYT, are cultivated directly on collagen-coated Bionas® metabolic chips. The chips are then placed into the Bionas analyzing system to evaluate the effect of test compounds. After a recovery period the hepatocytes can be re-used for further experiments.
Predicting liver toxicity is a major concern of the pharmaceutical industry and non-immortalized primary human hepatocytes can be used as biosensors for the analysis of drugs, food additives and chemicals.
