Novoheart

: 3D CARDIAC FUNCTION

Fluid-ejecting human ventricular chamber with capabilities for clinically relevant characterization.

: ENHANCED MATURATION

3D environment enhances maturation of ventricular cardiomyocytes, thereby providing superior model for adult ventricular function.

: ALL-ROUND ANALYSIS

Pressure-volume loop, ejection fraction and volumetric electrical propagation are some of the clinical parameters that are only measurable in this 3D platform.

Novoheart's human ventricular Cardiac Organoid Chamber (hvCOC, aka human heart in-a-jar) model is the ONLY macroscopic human cardiac tissue model on the market that is capable of mimicking fluid pumping similar to natural heart.

The hvCOC model aims to better predict the effects of new pharmaceutical compounds on the human heart early in the development process before clinical trials. No other in vitro tissue models recapitulate the natural pumping function of the human heart like Novoheart's hvCOC.
