SynALI™ Lung-on-chip model
Morphologically realistic airway structure and environment allowing real-time visualization of cellular and barrier functionality
SynALI Idealized Linear Chip
SynALI™ is SynVivo’s advanced lung-on-chip model, engineered around an air–liquid interface (ALI) lung microfluidics platform. Featuring functionalized lung epithelial cells enveloped by a lung microvascular endothelium, SynALI™ creates a physiologically relevant alveolar environment—including ciliary function and mucus secretion—under dynamic flow and shear stress conditions.
SynALI™ Model Highlights
- Air–Liquid Interface Microenvironment – Mimics alveolar architecture with epithelial and endothelial co-culture
- Functional Airway Physiology – Enables live observation of ciliary motility, mucus dynamics, and barrier integrity
- Dynamic Flow & Shear Stress – Accurately replicates in vivo vascular conditions
- Immune & Therapeutic Readouts – Ideal for toxicology, infection, inflammation, and drug efficacy testing
- Aligns with human-relevant, non-animal testing paradigms
