New Member: Welcome in our cluster to CAVIGEN UG

CAVIGEN develops thermoformed microstructures for cell culture, including microcavities, porous microcavities, sensor-integrated microcavities (sensor arrays), and microchannels. Its patented technology enables precise oxygen measurement in 3D cell cultures, enhancing the physiological relevance of in vitro models, improving drug development processes, and reducing the need for animal testing.

CAVIGEN’s business model follows a razor-and-blade approach, offering a measurement device alongside disposable sensor arrays for organoid generation and analysis. In addition, the company provides custom development services to integrate its microstructures into existing systems.

Target customers include pharmaceutical companies, CROs, biotech firms, and organ-on-chip manufacturers developing advanced in vitro models. Currently preparing for market entry, CAVIGEN is testing its first prototypes with academic research groups and industry partners while actively seeking strategic partners and investors to accelerate adoption within the pharmaceutical sector.
