VITVO it’s a ready to use, flat and handheld bioreactor, integrating scaffold for the establishment of in vitro 3D cell culture model that can be used for a large number of research applications and pre-clinical investigations. This in vitro 3D cell culture technology offers also a solution for precision medicine approaches.

Time Saving

VITVO is a ready-to-use device for rapid loading, cell colonization, fast monitoring and obtainment of results (readouts after few hours).

Flexibility

Versatility to different R&D strategies and more complex applications (i.e. co-cultures and fluidics). The platform can host different cell types (normal/tumoral) simultaneously.

Transportability

Self-contained technology ensures an easy handling, the transportability and the minimization of contaminations, maintaining gas exchanges.

Sizing

Technical features of VITVO are compatible with millions of cells reducing the over-efficacy bias of the miniaturized 2D cultures. VITVO offers the optimal compromise between the reduction of culture medium volume and a successful creation of a tissue structure.

Reproducibility

The standardized procedures of production and use of VITVO lead to a homogeneous distribution of cells and to high-reproducible readouts.

Accuracy

The tissues created in VITVO closely mimic the in vivo microenvironment, providing a parallelism with in vivo studies.

A Concrete Solution for the 3Rs

VITVO thanks to its peculiarities can host human and animal cells to at least reduce and replace small animal studies with both ethical and economic impacts in drug development.

VITVO positioning between the in vitro high throughput screening and the in vivo models will reduce costs of drug screening improving the reliability of pre-clinical testing for safety (i.e. normal hepatocytes) and efficacy (i.e. cancer cell lines or primary tumor cells).

A Valuable Tool for Precision Medicine

VITVO can be loaded with human primary tumor cells dissociated after biopsies or surgery to grow them into their recreated 3D microenvironment and test them with different drugs for predictive purposes.
