Clinical samples
Turn fresh tissue into immediate, actionable insight
Physical properties of the tumor and its microenvironment, like stiffness and deformability, often signal disease progression earlier and more accurately than molecular markers might because they are indicators of the tumor’s current state. Artidis enables rapid nanomechanical profiling of fresh clinical samples within the tumor microenvironment, embedded in existing care pathways. Tissue integrity is preserved for downstream testing.

Clinicians and researchers can:
  • Discover mechanical properties and their clinical applications
  • Investigate tumor mechanical profiles that may correlate with metastatic behavior
  • Explore mechanically-informed data relevant to therapy sequencing research (platinum vs. taxane, checkpoint inhibitor optimization)
  • Access high-resolution data from core biopsies, FNAs, resections
Unlike liquid biopsies that measure isolated cells, Artidis captures the complete picture: cancer cells, surrounding matrix, immune landscape, and physical barriers.

Research models
From cells to preclinical models
ARTIDIS reveals how biological systems physically respond to their environment—unlocking insights into adhesion, migration, differentiation, and drug response across multiple model systems.

Applications include:
  • Cell-Based Assays - Track early cellular changes before molecular markers shift; study adhesion and migration dynamics
  • Organoid & 3D Models - Detect therapeutic effects earlier by tracking biomechanical shifts; link mechanical phenotype with molecular outcomes
  • Hydrogels & Biomaterials - Tune mechanical cues for stem cell differentiation; validate materials for clinical translation
  • Preclinical Tissues - Detect biomechanical changes before visible treatment effects; monitor immune infiltration in real time
Get clear, actionable results while preserving sample integrity for downstream analysis.
