Cross-species Hepatotoxicity Testingis a great way to prioritize your compounds of interest before investing in costly animal studies! This convenient service assesses hepatotoxicity (via ATP assay) over 7 days with repeat dosing in any three of our 3D InSightâ„¢ Human, Rat, Dog, Cynomolgus, or Minipig Microtissues. Standard packages for 5, 10, or 20 compounds available.
New Technical Protocol: LDH Assay for Assessing Microtissue Health
Did you know InSphero provides3D-optimized technical protocols to help you achieve the best results and collect clean, relevant experimental data when you’re using our assay-ready microtissues? Our newest protocol assesses microtissue health by measuring LDH release as an endpoint for cell viability using the Promega CytoTox-ONE™ assay.
Let us knowif you have a favorite assay you’d like to see optimized for use with
3D microtissues.
