Abstract:
Traditionally, to quantify permeability of a biological barrier, the initial slope is used, based on the assumption of sink condition (concentration of the donor is constant, and the receiver increases less than 10%). With on-a-chip barrier models, this assumption fails in cell-free or leaky conditions, which requires the use of the exact solution. To encounter a time delay from performing the assay and acquiring the data, we present a protocol with the exact equation modified to incorporate a time offset.
