Key feature：

MV-Reactor
High-Throughput Microbial Screening
The MV-Reactor cartridge is designed for fast, cost-efficient in vitro screening of microbial communities and compounds under gut-like conditions.
Single-chamber design for high-throughput experiments
Maintains strict anaerobic or aerobic environments
Ideal for testing probiotics, postbiotics, and antimicrobials
Compatible with human, animal, and synthetic microbiota
Optimised for faecal fermentation studies

microGUT
A Multi-Stage Gut-On-Chip Cartridge
microGUT is a modular, multi-compartment cartridge that mimics the entire human colon and small intestine, providing a dynamic, spatially resolved simulation of the gut.
Models 4 gut regions (SI, AC, TC, DC) with independent control of flow and pH
Spiral chambers for realistic nutrient gradients and retention time
Plug-and-play with the IMAT automation core
Supports complex, long-term microbial colonisation

Co-culture
Microbiome & Host Cell Interactions
Our Co-Culture Module enables direct interaction studies between live microbial ecosystems and human gut epithelial cells, advancing the frontier of in vitro human models.
Two-chamber system with a semipermeable membrane interface
Maintains differential oxygen and nutrient gradients
Mimics the mucosal interface of the human gut
Enables measurement of host responses (e.g., cytokines, barrier integrity)
Application：
Microbiome screening pipelines
Batch testing for product development
Safety and efficacy profiling of novel ingredients
