Overview
Integrating the EpiKidney™ 3D human model with the Incucyte® Live-Cell Analysis System enhances renal toxicity screening. Traditional methods fall short, prompting the need for predictive human models. EpiKidney™ mimics renal functions for accurate drug-induced nephrotoxicity predictions. The platform enables real-time toxicity monitoring, offering insights into drug effects. The kit includes components for assays, with Cytotox Green for imaging cell death. Demonstrating concentration-dependent nephrotoxin responses, this approach streamlines toxicity quantification and preclinical evaluations, improving drug safety assessments.
