Food
In the food industry, maintaining the integrity of barriers within the gastrointestinal tract is crucial for both safety and efficiency. Barrier integrity measurements help monitor and ensure that the gut barrier, essential for nutrient uptake, remains intact and functional. A compromised gut barrier can lead to the infiltration of harmful pathogens or toxins, potentially causing foodborne illnesses. Moreover, an effective gut barrier is vital for optimal nutrient absorption, ensuring that essential nutrients from food are properly absorbed into the body. By investing in barrier integrity measurements, consumer health is safeguarded, while enhancing the nutritional value of your products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find the answers to questions that are regularly asked by visitors to our website.
Yes the Artemis is compatible with the incubator. The cells can be placed inside the incubator, while the Artemis detector is placed on top of the incubator.
Yes, the transwell plates can be placed inside the Artemis plate holder. The device can automatically read-out the entire plate by performing TEER and impedance spectroscopy measurements on all wells.
Yes, in addition to the standard configuration, Locsense can provide interfacing to microfluidic chips, or organs-on-chip.
Yes, the Artemis can perform time-lapse measurements, e.g. for a period of 24 hours or 72 hours with time intervals varying from several minutes to hours or days.

Advanced pathophysiology mimicking lungmodels for accelerated drug discovery
Background Respiratory diseases are the 2nd leading cause of death globally. The current treatments for chronic lung diseases are only supportive. Very few new classes of therapeutics have been introduced for lung diseases in the last 40 years, due to the lack of reliable lung models that enable rapid, cost-effective, and high-throughput testing. To accelerate…
