Published purpose

Ananda Devices' proprietary Neuro-microfluidic device (MFD) offers a more efficient model to test drugs targeting neurological diseases in vitro. The Neuro-MFD enables up to 90% cost reduction with reagents and samples and up to 50% faster data analysis in cultures of humans-derived neurons. However, each Neuro-MFD can only test one drug per experiment. To sell to the biopharmaceutical industry market, here we propose to adapt the Neuro-MFD to the industry standard high throughput screening (HTS) plate format, enabling testing of thousands of drugs/experimental conditions.
