Build your model
We create physiologically accurate models of a wide range of barrier tissues—including lung, gut, bladder, kidney, and more—customized to your specific needs.
Through close collaboration with biobanks worldwide, we can source precise tissue types and donor profiles (from pediatric to adult, including disease-specific samples) to ensure your study objectives align with clinical relevance.
Primary Cells: HLA- and donor-matched available | Pediatric, elderly, pregnant, and disease-specific donors | Clinical background available on request
Immortalized: Robustness | Reproducibility | Standardization | Including our proprietary human alveolar epithelial cell line with strong TER formation
Organoids: Patient-derived, tissue-specific 3D models | Maintain phenotypic fidelity and offer high throughput compatibility
With AlveoliX, you define the level of innovation for your research—from classic cell culture plates to advanced Transwell inserts and state-of-the-art organ-on-chip systems. We offer flexibility across complexity factors—ensuring your model matches your scientific objective:
Mono-, Co-, or Multi-culture systems
Air–liquid interface or submerged
Immune competent cultures
Static or dynamic conditions
The model needs to be fine-tuned according to your specific molecule or compound and the objectives of your project. Our expertise spans a variety of areas, including:
Small molecules
Antibodies, proteins, and bioconjugates
Nucleic acid-based therapeutics
Nanomaterials and nanoparticles
Drug delivery systems
Excipients and formulation components
In partnership with Alexis (link) and VitroCell (link), we provide various administration methods such as submerged exposure, nebulization, and dry powder delivery.
Available readouts
The AX12 chip simplifies TEER measurements, enabling easy integration with existing systems. When paired with our TEEROC, it delivers fully automated, robust, and reproducible barrier integrity assessments—saving valuable time.
The platform’s design facilitates straightforward sampling from both apical and basolateral chambers, enabling precise analysis of molecular diffusion and cellular transmigration.
Thanks to its configuration, the AX12 platform allows rapid, efficient supernatant collection, ideal for downstream protein and cytokine quantification using ELISA, multiplex immunoassays, or mass spectrometry.
Fully compatible with advanced omics workflows—including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—the AX12 platform enables comprehensive cellular and molecular profiling in barrier tissue models.
TEER evaluates barrier function and cell layer integrity to investigate gut permeability, , lung EDEMA or drug-induced barrier impairment.
Permeability Assay evaluates on one hand passive transport of a molecule across a cell barrier and therefore barrier-tightness, on the other hand active molecule transport across a barrier. This assay can be used to investigate barrier tightness like TEER or to study in vitro ADME for molecule or drug transport, uptake or delivery.
Live cell imaging allows assessment of cell morphology, cytotoxicity or drug uptake throughout the cell experiment.
Immunofluorescent staining is applied to visualize cell morphology and expressed proteins at high magnification, to evaluate for instance cell shape, target detection or changes in pathological markers upon molecule exposure.
Protein and cytokine secretion can be measured by immunoassays or high throughput proteomics across different cellular compartments allowing the observation of changes in protein secretion following exposure to specific molecules. This enables the detection of key disease or clinical markers, as well as profiling of inflammatory responses, supporting pathway analysis, biomarker discovery, and investigations into mechanisms of action.
Gene expression analysis is possible for single cells or cell populations on the chip, e.g. to check for presence of targets, or changes in disease or inflammatory markers following exposure to specific molecules, supporting pathway analysis, biomarker discovery or investigations into mechanisms of action.
In light of the recent FDA Modernization Acts, which emphasize the integration of new approach methodologies (NAMs) and reduce reliance on animal testing and also the ban of animal testing for other sectors like the cosmetic and chemical industry, AlveoliX’s advanced in-vitro models are well-positioned to support regulatory-aligned, human-relevant preclinical strategies.
AlveoliX is one of the first companies who supported regulatory submission for IND applications with organs-on-chip data. We have a strong network of experts and stakeholders in the field. We collaborate closely with regulatory consultants to support your de-risking and preclinical strategy, ensuring that the use of complex in-vitro models aligns with current and emerging regulatory expectations.
