Plan your model configuration

Cell sources, donor selection, tissue dimensions, culture duration, exposure schedule and assay acceptance criteria are defined for the selected study. The catalogue does not specify universal values for these parameters.

Model systems and testing options summarized from the September 2026 preclinical NAMs catalogue, page 3. Discuss availability and the endpoints required for your candidate with MAKBY.
