Overview

EPFL spin-off Nagi Bioscience has developed a device that allows rapid toxicology testing of new chemicals. It offers whole organism tests without falling under the animal test ban. The model organism, the 1mm worm C. elegans is introduced into the device on microfluidic chips. The device is able to measure different parameters for a large number of tests that run in parallel, a very effective and easy setup. Nagi sells its device to companies in the agrochemicals, cosmetics and pharma industries.
