We develop microphysiological systems (MPS) with nano- and microfabrication technology, accelerating drug discovery and life science research.
. Our strength
We develop our chips and instruments, and the assays that run on them, as a single portfolio. Because the hardware and the methods come as a set, your team can start generating data as soon as MPS is in place.
Chips & instruments
We manufacture the microfluidic chips at the core of MPS under our own brand, together with the accessories and instruments needed to run experiments.
Assay methods
An epithelial model built on a porous membrane, and a vascular network model built three-dimensionally in gel. Around these two models we have accumulated validated protocols and evaluation know-how.
A vascular side and an organ cell side, separated by a porous membrane.
Three-dimensional vascular networks with lumen structures.
. What we do
MPS development requires expertise across chip design, tissue construction, instrumentation, and assay development. Drawing on our own development experience, we bring these capabilities together through a single point of contact.
We supply the standard Boncyte Chip and related instruments. Materials, analysis and imaging technologies are provided together with our partner companies.
Validated culture and evaluation protocols, plus hands-on guidance from installation through routine use. Teams new to MPS can start experiments right away.
From contract testing and compound screening with CRO partners to joint development with academia and industry, we work with you to develop solutions tailored to your objectives.
. Our approach
Leading-edge R&D with academia, implementation with industry, and global expansion. Through partnerships, we connect these three stages to bring MPS into drug discovery research.
STEP 1 Academia
Centered on our collaboration with the Yokokawa Laboratory at Kyoto University, we develop leading-edge MPS technologies in partnership with academia.
We collaborate with industry partners in Japan and overseas to develop products and assay systems that advance the practical adoption of MPS.
Born in Japan, BoncyteTM is bringing MPS technology to drug discovery laboratories around the world.
