A versatile, compartmentalised gut-on-a-chip system for pharmacological and toxicological analyses

Abstract A novel, integrated, in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) system is presented to study oral bioavailability parameters of small molecules. Three compartments were combined into one hyphenated, flow-through set-up. In the first compartment, a compound was exposed dynamically to enzymatic digestion...
