INTERACTION BIOLOGY
Biology happens
through interaction.
Cells communicate, compete and respond to each other and their environment. Versarys enables researchers to study these interactions in controlled, scalable experiments.
We build the tools to study these interactions.
Modular experimental systems
Scalable workflows
Measurable interactions
THE GAP
Biological interactions are difficult to study at scale.
Existing experimental formats address different needs, but rarely allow researchers to study communication between physically separated populations at scale while retaining direct access to each culture.
01 / STANDARD PLATES
96-well plates
Scalable
Populations are typically studied in isolation or mixed together, losing physical separation and independent access.
SCALE WITHOUT SEPARATION
02 / INSERT SYSTEM
Transwells
Physical separation
Enable molecular exchange across two compartments. Workflows become cumbersome when many conditions or higher order interaction are required.
SEPARATION WITHOUT THROUGHPUT
03 / MICROPHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
Organ-on-chip
Physiologically sophisticated
Excellent for complex models, but often require specialized setups and can be difficult to scale across large experimental setups.

Qualitative positioning intended to illustrate the experimental trade-off. Exact performance depends on the specific commercial system and application.
What is missing is a bridge between interaction, control and throughput.
At Versarys we close this gap: physically separated wells, controlled biological communication and independently accessible wells.
OUR APPROACH
Bring biological complexity into controlled experiments.
01
Connect
Create defined biological interactions across compartments without losing experimental access.
02
Control
Design the interaction, environment and timing around the biological question you want to answer.
03
Measure
Combine interaction biology with familiar analytical workflows, automation and readouts.
