Overview:
IVTech, founded in 2014 as a spin-off of the University of Pisa, provides technology and services to customers who need to refine their in-vitro models, being a key partner in order to develop in-vitro models more correlated with human reality
IVTech produces advanced cell culture chambers that can be used to test relevant portions of tissues (i.e. biopsy), 3D scaffold colonized by cells, floating spheroids and 2D/3D models developed with cell lines.
IVTech philosophy is that in order to obtain a more predictive in-vitro test, it is required a technology which allows for a better mimicking of the real human environment. In particular if tissues are exposed to a stimulus similar to the pato-physiological one (i.e. 3D topology, dynamicity and cross modulation) also their in-vitro response will be closed to the real one. Therefore the R&D activities of the Italian company are focused on the design and production of new chambers to implement the pato-physiological stimuli of different tissues.
The technological expertise and the importability of standard cell culture protocols and analysis represents one of the key aspect in respect to competitors products.
