Webinar - Importance of Flow in Organ-on-a-Chip: focusing on Vessel-on-Chip Models
Date: 19th of February, 2026
Time:
- Session 1: 10:00 AM CET (Paris) / 9:00 AM BST (London) / 5:00 PM CST (Beijing)
- Session 2: 4:00 PM CET (Paris) / 3:00 PM BST (London) / 10:00 AM EDT (New York / Montreal)
With the increasing adoption of Organ-on-a-Chip (OOC) technologies, long-term perfusion has become essential for dynamic testing under flow conditions. This webinar will explore the latest advancements in flow control for organ-on-a-chip systems, with a focus on perfusion and recirculation.
Experts from Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC) and Fluigent will showcase novel methodologies for developing reliable vessel-on-chip models. The session will also demonstrate how the Fluigent Omi Organ-on-a-Chip Platform enables unidirectional and reliable recirculation within these models.
Join this webinar for a live Q&A session with experts sharing insights into dynamic in vitro models.

Discover Omi, Automated Organ-on-chip platform
Omi is an automated platform that helps reproduce the microphysiological behavior of organs inside microfluidic chips. It is compatible any type of chips to sustain different cell culture types or organ on chip models (Gut, Skin…)
hiPSCs-derived Vascular Organ-on-Chip Model Under Unidirectional Controlled Flow
This application note demonstrates how the Omi™ OOC platform enables long-term, unidirectional recirculation, supporting endothelial alignment and polarization in Human iPSC-derived vascular model.
The work was conducted in collaboration with Dr. Dhanesh Kasi, Dr. Hanna Lammertse, and Dr. Valeria Orlova from the Leiden Organ-on-Chip Center and the Orlova group at Leiden University Medical Center.
