New paper: When 96 exposure positions work together… your data gets BIG, very fast!

Our VITROCELL® 96 Exposure System has just been put through its paces in a new open‑access publication in Environmental Sciences Europe and it passed with flying colors. In this study, A549 cells at the air–liquid interface are exposed in a Mehr

Evaluating Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) for Reduced Aircraft Emissions

As part of the ADVISAR project, the effects of emissions from aircraft turbines are being comprehensively investigated from a chemical and physical perspective. In collaboration between Zurich University of Applied Sciences and Adolphe Merkle Institute, human lung cell cultures are Mehr

More and more research efforts are emerging to explore another air-liquid interface: the eye!

First studies using our Cloud systems have already been successfully published (see link in the comments). Another widespread challenge is dry eye disease, where further studies are needed – and there’s a lot happening in the Eye-on-a-Chip community! For these Mehr

Real-world airborne exposure meets in vitro precision

Vitrocell exposure systems enable direct air–liquid interface (ALI) exposure of mammalian cells and tissues to real-world airborne substances. From gases, complex mixtures, and combustion exhausts to cigarette smoke, e-cigarette vapor, household chemicals, nanomaterials, pharmaceutical aerosols, dry powders, and even viruses, Mehr

Why Air–Liquid Interface exposure is a game-changer for inhalation research

In traditional submerged cell culture, airway cells are covered by liquid – a condition that does not reflect how humans actually breathe. At the Air–Liquid Interface (ALI), mammalian cells and tissues are exposed directly to airborne substances, replicating human respiratory Mehr

When advanced exposure technology is used for environmental research

Following successful factory acceptance testing at Vitrocell in Waldkirch, we recently completed the final user training for the AirTox Monitor systems at LISA – Laboratoire Interuniversitaire des Systèmes Atmosphériques, (Université Paris Cité/Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC)/CNRS, France). What often matters most Mehr

New study by French Armed Forces research team: Pollutant mixtures trigger early lung effects long before acute toxicity appear

In a recently published study, researchers from the Institut de Recherche Biomédical des Armées (IRBA) and INERIS carried out repeated, sub-lethal co-exposures to aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al₂O₃ NPs) and hydrogen chloride (HCl). A human air–liquid interface co-culture model of alveolar Mehr
