Explore in vitro organoids & ex vivo brain slices

Accura-3D enables the investigation of 3D cellular networks at unprecedented depths and resolution. Our real-time biosignal processing microchip broadens the concept of label-free functional imaging beyond optical approaches.

Our bidirectional pixel array technology empowers researchers to communicate with cells directly through targeted sending and reading of biosignals. Compared to other cell-electronic interfaces, Accura-3D has many unique advantages:

  • More signal than flat technologies

  • Increased robustness and sensitivity

  • Preserves tissue integrity

  • New mechanistic insights and phenotypes

  • Drug screening and biomarker discovery

  • Gain unrivaled access to the complexities of biological systems
