The Trans Epithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) measurement provides a quick and easy evaluation of the integrity of the Blood-Brain Barrier model. The DIV-BBB model has a TEER closer to that found in vivo, >1000 Ω-cm2 as opposed to the monolayer model that typically achieves a TEER of 200 Ω-cm2.
Features
