## Summary

The University of Birmingham has completed a procurement process for the supply and installation of the PhysioMimix OOC Multi-OrganFull System, classified under scientific installations. Located in Birmingham, United Kingdom, this project falls under the public authority in the sub-central government sector, with CN Bio Innovations Limited being awarded the contract valued at £298,045. The direct award method was selected due to the urgency and advanced capabilities of the system, crucial for comprehensive drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics studies. The contract runs from 2nd July 2025 to 28th May 2026, with the award stage currently pending and slated for signature on 24th June 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses focused on the scientific and research industries, specifically in multi-organ system modelling and drug testing. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in creating adaptable and high-quality research platforms should consider competing in similar future tenders. The innovative modular design and proprietary software affiliated with the system allow enterprises to expand into niche areas such as inter-organ interactions and off-target effects, positioning themselves as key contributors to cutting-edge biomedical research.

## Notice

The PhysioMimix(r) Multi-Tissue System is particularly well suited for use in a core facility (Birmingham Tissue Analytics), where flexibility and broad applicability are key. Its modular design allows different organ models to be easily configured and reconfigured to suit a range of project needs-from single-organ toxicity studies to multi-organ interaction and disease modelling. With standardized protocols and user-friendly operation, it supports consistent, high-quality data generation across diverse applications, making it an efficient and adaptable platform for multiple research groups and project types.

### Procurement Information

The PhysioMimix(r) Multi-Tissue System offers a highly advanced, solution for modelling systemic human biology in vitro. By enabling the dynamic co-culture of multiple organ models-such as liver, gut, and lung-within a single, perfused microphysiological system, it provides a unique opportunity to assess inter-organ interactions, drug metabolism, distribution, and toxicity in a more integrated and human-relevant context. Product features include an open-well consumable plate design, media is pneumatically pumped recirculated through microfluidics within these plates to perfuse tissue cultures. Modular PhysioMimix(r) hardware consists of a Controller, Docking Station(s), and MPS driver(s), and consumable plates controlled via proprietary software. This is underpinned by patents exclusively licensed from MIT to CN Bio. This system is particularly valuable for studying drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) across tissues, evaluating how metabolites formed in one organ (e.g., liver) influence the function or toxicity of others. Such capability is crucial for understanding off-target effects, bioactivation pathways, and multi-organ toxicity that are often missed in single-organ or animal models.
