In 2017, Novoheart filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a versatile bioreactor platform for culturing, stimulating, and monitoring the function of multiple engineered human-tissue organoids. The proprietary bioreactor system, combines hardware for organoid maintenance, intervention, and monitoring, together with customized software for seamless data processing and analysis. The system, is designed to increase throughput, deliver strengthened consistency, and extend stimulation and monitoring capabilities. The modular design of the bioreactor allows multiple organoids to be combined for increased throughput of the semi-automated culture and testing process. Ultimately, the new technology enhances Novoheart’s capacity and further expands its ability to identify promising bioactive therapeutics, classify toxicity of unknown drugs and pioneer innovative methods of addressing diseases or disorders.
This technology applies to other mini-organs such as mini-Liver, -Lungs, -Gut, -Vasculature, etc, with circulation powered by the mini-Heart, that forms the basis of our mini-Life Platform. (Learn more details for the mini-Life Platform)
