In our Continuous Flow Exposure Systems, mammalian cells, tissues, and ex vivo material can be exposed to a constant flow of gases, complex mixtures, or particles - allowing both gas and particle phases to be assessed simultaneously. Furthermore, the method is fully compatible with organ-on-chip exposure using the AlveoliX AX12.
The Continous Flow exposure principle is indispensable when: • long-term exposure is required
• all phases of a test atmosphere are relevant
• testing materials / atmosphere is available in sufficient quantities for a longer-term continuous delivery
Depending on the Exposure System, exposures can last from several minutes up to 72 hours - enabling realistic ALI inhalation scenarios other methods cannot mimic.
What is the biggest challenge you face, when assessing the toxicological relevance of multi-phase atmospheres?
