Tissue Models
EpiOral™ & EpiGingival™
Various industrial and toxicology laboratories are actively seeking alternatives to expensive clinical or whole animal testing. Oral care, personal care, and pharmaceutical companies have initiated in vitro toxicology testing to evaluate their raw materials and final product formulations.
OVERVIEW
EpiCorneal™
One of the newest MatTek tissue models. Initial data indicates that EpiCorneal tissue model can effectively provide a non-animal means to assess ocular irritation, drug delivery, endomicrobial and other infections, as well as wound healing and tissue regeneration studies.
OVERVIEW
EpiOcular™
EpiOcular’s exceptional reproducibility provides scientists with quantifiable assessments of irritation. Its correlation to in vivo sensitivity makes it an ideal alternative to in vivo testing for toxicological evaluation of raw materials and final formulations.
OVERVIEW
EpiAirway™
MatTek’s 3D tissue models of the human airway are advancing in vitro respiratory research worldwide. Allowing for physiological exposures to pathogens, chemicals or therapeutics, EpiAirway’s human-relevant biological responses are changing the way scientists research respiratory diseases and drug development. Let EpiAirway advance your science.
OVERVIEW
EpiDermFT™
The development of innovative skin care products requires advanced, human-relevant in vitro testing technologies. When world leading personal care and cosmetic scientists evaluate novel ingredients and formulations, they choose the EpiDermFT 3D human skin model.
OVERVIEW
EpiDerm™
MatTek’s patented EpiDerm system is the leading in vitro testing technology for dermal toxicologists and formulation scientists. With multiple ECVAM validations and OECD accepted test guidelines, EpiDerm is a proven in vitro model system for chemical, pharmaceutical and skin care product testing.
OVERVIEW
MelanoDerm™
Ideal for the assessment of skin lightening agents and formulations, MelanoDerm is used by cosmetic scientists worldwide. Reduce the time and costs associated with clinical testing by screening compounds and formulations in MatTek’s MelanoDerm 3D tissue model.
OVERVIEW
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by epidermal hyperplasia (Acanthosis). MatTek has developed an in vitro model of Psoriasis to enable the study of the disease, and to screen therapeutic candidates for safety and efficacy.
OVERVIEW
EpiIntestinal™
MatTek’s 3D tissue model of the human small intestine is our latest innovation advancing in vitro GI research worldwide. Allowing for physiological exposures and human-relevant endpoints, EpiIntestinal is being added to pharmaceutical development programs worldwide. Key features:
- Epithelial Polarity
- Highly Differentiated, Physiologically Relevant
- Multiple Donors Available
- Delivered Ready-to-use & Easy-to-use
EpiVaginal™
EpiVaginal provides an in vitro research tool both for feminine product safety testing and for the study of HIV-1 and other sexually transmitted diseases. Its tissue structure and cellular physiology closely parallel in vivo vaginal epithelial tissue, making it ideal for toxicology and efficacy testing, as well as a tool for biological research.
OVERVIEW
Melanoma
An in vitro model of melanoma enables oncologists and cancer researchers a better understanding of disease progression, and an efficient platform for testing new therapies.
OVERVIEWMatTek’s microphysiological systems of human epithelial tissues are living, metabolically active 3D tissue models allowing researchers the flexibility of acute or long-term experiments in a highly physiological and in vitro setting.
