Integrated biosensors enable continuous, non-destructive monitoring of organ-chip function. Technologies include TEER for barrier integrity, MEA for electrophysiology, oxygen sensors, pH monitoring, and metabolite detection—providing real-time readouts of tissue health and drug response.
SENSOR TYPES
TEER
Barrier Integrity
Trans-epithelial electrical resistance measures tight junction integrity in gut, lung, and BBB models.
MEA
Electrophysiology
Multi-electrode arrays record cardiac and neural electrical activity for arrhythmia and seizure detection.
OXYGEN
Metabolic Activity
Dissolved oxygen sensors monitor cellular respiration and metabolic status in real-time.
BIOMARKERS
Secreted Factors
Immunosensors detect albumin, urea, cytokines, and other secreted biomarkers continuously.
