This MasterClass consists of:
1. On-demand e-learning
-
- What is Organ on a chip?
- Why would you use organ on a chip?
- What components does an organ on a chip system have?
- What design types can you find?
- How do you choose the closest organ on a chip system to your application?
- Advantages and disadvantages of every design type.
- Go through a few examples.
2. Interactive lectures
-
- A custom-made summary of on-demand lectures.
- Examples tailored to interests of participants
- How are chips made?
- How do you prepare chips for cell culture?
- How do you (co-) culture cells in chips?

- How do you extract data from an organ on a chip system?
- Explore different commercial organ chips
3. Hands-on lab training
-
- Work with 3 different chip types
- Work with 5 different flow systems (pumps)
- Connect pumps to organ chips and other components
- Learn about different protocols
- Simulate cell seeding with microparticles
- Use microscopy to observe organ chips
—
4. Commercial demos
-
- Hands-on experience with selected commercial organ chips or complementary technologies
- Ask questions directly from technology providers

- Get inspired for your design
ibidi is a leading supplier of functional cell-based assays and products for cell microscopy. The ibidi range of products offers organ-on-a-chip solutions for classic cell culturing, and also complex assays (e.g., angiogenesis, chemotaxis, and wound healing). ibidi also specializes in instruments, such as a unique perfusion system for the simulation of blood vessels.
Microfluidic ChipShop is one of the leading microfluidic products and service providers. A unique feature of the company is its catalogue with a huge variety of off-the-shelf microfluidic components and systems, allowing a low-cost rapid access to lab-on-a-chip technologies, such as Organ-on-Chip.
Netri, industrial start-up, offers the healthcare industries organs-on-chip which, coupled with AI treatments, enable the clinical effect of a compound to be predicted. NETRI’s high-throughput solutions recreate human physiology in vitro using compartmentalized cell co-cultures coupled with functional activity measurements.
