MIMETAS Introduces OrganoPlate UniFlow at SLAS 2025

Leiden, Netherlands – January 28, 2025 – MIMETAS, a leader in human disease modeling, has launched OrganoPlate UniFlow (UF), the first commercially available unidirectional, gravity-driven pumpless flow system for drug discovery and disease research. The platform debuts at SLAS 2025, expanding MIMETAS’ portfolio of advanced tissue models.

Improving Drug Discovery with Natural Flow Conditions

OrganoPlate UF enables physiologically relevant tissue models by using unidirectional, gravity-driven flow, removing the need for external pumps. This approach simplifies operation while maintaining biological accuracy. With support for up to 512 chips in a single setup, researchers can conduct large-scale studies efficiently.

Features of OrganoPlate UF

• Unidirectional flow: Better replicates blood circulation, making it suitable for cardiovascular, oncology, and immunology research.
• Pump-free, gravity-driven design: Reduces complexity while maintaining conditions similar to the human body.
• Compatible with standard lab equipment: Works with existing liquid handling and imaging systems for efficient, high-throughput analysis.
• Supports long-term studies: Designed for extended culture of complex tissues, including those for chronic disease research.

Expanding Research Possibilities

“For over a decade, the MIMETAS OrganoPlate has been used worldwide to study human disease,” said Bas Trietsch, MIMETAS co-founder. “With UniFlow, we now offer unidirectional flow that closely mimics natural circulation while keeping our system easy to use.”
OrganoPlate UF is already integrated into MIMETAS’ liver, lung, brain, vasculature, and tumor models, supporting research in metabolic, cardiovascular, immunological, and cancer studies. The platform is now available as part of MIMETAS’ research services.

NATO summit 2025: consequences for road traffic

The Netherlands will host the NATO Summit on 24-25 June 2025 at the World Forum in The Hague, leading to significant traffic disruptions and security measures across the Randstad region from 22-26 June. Motorists can expect road closures on major routes, while public transport services will be adjusted, with certain trams and buses suspended, and travelers are advised to avoid the area or use alternative transportation options.
