Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18
Fast-track your route to a modernized workflow with the only in vitro bioavailability assessment tool on the market
The PhysioMimix Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 contains everything you need to recreate our human in vitro Gut/Liver-on-a-chip model and Bioavailability assay in your laboratory.
The Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 bridges the gap between in vitro and in vivo studies to reduce the risk calculus by enhancing your ability to profile human oral bioavailability ahead of in vivo animal and first-in-human trials.
Watch this short video to discover how you can leverage the expertise of two microphysiological systems (MPS) providers to recreate our fluidically connected primary human RepliGut®-Planar Jejunum/ PhysioMimix Liver-on-a-chip model using the PhysioMimix Multi-organ System.
Our Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 supports:
The rapid adoption of Organ-on-a-chip technology by scientists of all experience levels
Instant access to validated tissue models and protocols, developed and refined through years of industry collaboration
Prediction of human-relevant ADME parameters by combining data generated from the assay kit with in silico modeling
Ability to simulate oral and IV drug dosing in a single experiment
Features of our Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18
Use the assay kit to avoid unexpected results in the clinic by removing the limitations of traditional approaches that lead to incorrect estimations of ADME parameters.
- Modernize your workflow: Eliminate the need for model/assay development and validation with our all-in-one kit
- Assay kit output: gut and liver ADME estimations, plus oral bioavailability profiling via a fluidically linked multi-organ system
- Enhanced Study Design: Use the 18-replicate kit to explore and adapt parameters before in vivo animal studies, reducing the number of animals required.
- Unique Insights: Complement in vivo studies with human in vitro data to flag potential interspecies differences and reduce reliance on animal models.
- Validated primary human cells: Recapitulate the microarchitechture of the liver and human intestine.
- Proprietary media: Co-culture validated primary cells (for individual and combined Gut/Liver culture) up to 72 hours.
- Key metabolic enzyme expression: In both gut and liver, including CYP3A, CYP2C.
* You may require a license to store human cells in your geographic location.

- It can be leveraged to study the gut/liver axis
- Drug-drug interaction (DDI)*
- Toxicology and toxicodynamics*
*not yet available as a validated assay from CN Bio
What are the three media supplied in the Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 used for?
Liver A and B Basal media are used for seeding and maintaining primary human hepatocytes in the Multi-chip Dual-organ plate. The Gut/Liver Basal media has been designed for primary Gut/Liver coculture for up to 72 hours to accomadate a drug-dosing window.
What is the shelf life of the Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 and how do I store it?
The Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 will arrive in three drop shipments.
1. CN Bio shipment contains Dual-organ plates (store at room temperature), Liver and Gut/Liver coculture basal media and supplements (store at +4°C, or -20°C as per kit instructions).
2. LifeNet Heatlth shipment contains primary human hepatocytes and should be stored in liquid nitrogen.
3. RepliGut® Planar Jejunum kit will be drop shipped last as this kit needs to be used within within a week of being received by the customer. Cells from Altis Biosystems to be stored in liquid nitrogen with the remaining kit components stored at +4°C.
Where can I find the Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 protocol?
The protocol is supplied with the shipment of your PhysioMimix Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 along with media preparation instructions, safety data sheets and other documents.
How are the cells within the Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 validated for use?
Primary human hepatocyte donors are first validated for 3D tissue growth, health and metabolic activity following CN Bio’s standard validation process. Adequately performing human hepatocyte donors are then co-cultured with RepliGut®– Planar Jejunum*, following the Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 SOP, to check that dual-organ (Gut/Liver) functionality is maintained.
*The RepliGut – Planar Jejunum kit is sourced from/ validated by Altis Biosystems.
How can you correlate data generated using the Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 to the clinic?
Data generated using the Bioavailability assay kit: Human 18 can be used to predict human-relevant ADME parameters via your in-house in silico modeling.
We plan to commercialize a CN Bio computational modeling tool in the future. Contact us for more information or to enquire about early access.
