Description

List of Tables

The microelectrode array in vitro market in the Middle East and Africa was valued at approximately US$ 0.53 million in 2023 and is projected to grow to US$ 0.72 million by 2031, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9% during this period.

Integration of Microelectrode Array Technologies with Organ-On-A-Chip

The advancement of organ-on-a-chip systems, which mimic the physiological conditions of human organs through microfluidics and engineered tissues, is significantly enhancing the microelectrode array in vitro market. When microelectrode array technology is integrated with these organ-on-a-chip systems, it allows for real-time monitoring of electrical activity, providing valuable insights into the functional responses of organ models. For example, a heart-on-a-chip that incorporates a microelectrode array can yield critical data on cardiac electrophysiology, enabling researchers to assess how various compounds affect heart rhythm and contractility. This capability is vital for understanding drug-induced cardiotoxicity, a major concern in pharmaceutical development.

A notable collaboration occurred in September 2022, when NETRI, a neuro-organs-on-chip start-up, partnered with Axion BioSystems to develop microfluidic devices equipped with high-throughput microelectrode arrays. This innovative technology enables neuroscientists to noninvasively measure the electrical activity of neural cells within complex in vitro models, thereby accelerating therapeutic discovery. The microelectrode array plays a central role in this organ-on-chip research, which aims to enhance biological models while minimizing animal testing. The focus areas include brain-on-a-chip technology for investigating neurodegenerative diseases, heart-on-a-chip technology, and blood-brain barrier modeling. Consequently, the integration of microelectrode array technologies with organ-on-a-chip devices is anticipated to drive new trends and growth in the market in the coming years.
