Advanced platforms for CROs, pharmaceutical and biotech companies seeking to enhance productivity

HOLLISTON, Mass., Feb. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Harvard Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq: HBIO) today announced that it will be showcasing its latest product innovations at the Society of Toxicology (SOT) conference from March 17-20, 2025, in Orlando. Building upon its comprehensive product portfolio, these latest developments open promising new avenues for progressing preclinical research and organoid-based therapeutic development.

Expansion of SoHo™ Implantable Real-Time Telemetry Platform

The SoHo telemetry solution enables researchers to collect, manage, analyze and report findings from multiple concurrent small animal models in both shared housing and extended range environments. The Company will unveil its newly launched SoHo biopotential monitoring devices used in many study types including neurotoxicity and cardiovascular toxicology studies.

The SoHo telemetry platform integrates with the Company’s GLP-compliant Ponemah data management platform which automates data collection, analysis, and reporting, to reduce manual effort and improve consistency in results. The system supports the customer’s business needs by reducing operating costs and test cycle times, enabling increased testing throughput and possibilities for emerging AI-based analysis of preclinical datasets.

Company to Present on VivaMARS™ Activity Monitoring System

Powered by Ponemah, the VivaMARS system delivers a comprehensive, GLP-compliant platform for precise, real-time behavioral analysis. This integrated solution addresses the demands of CROs and pharmaceutical companies to reduce cycle times and increase revenue streams, especially with neuropharmacology and neurotoxicology applications.

On March 20^th the Company will be presenting a poster prepared in cooperation with a leading CRO, the first adopter of the VivaMARS technology. To learn more about the VivaMARS system, visit the DSI website at https://www.datasci.com/products/behavior/vivamars-mobile-activity-rack-system/.

Multi Channel Systems Mesh MEA™ Organoid Platform

The Company will also be highlighting its innovative Mesh Microelectrode Array (MEA) platform, specifically engineered for organoid applications. Building upon its established expertise in in vitro MEA technology, this groundbreaking Mesh MEA™ system enables scientists to obtain detailed, real-time electrophysiological readings from within living organoids. This advanced platform has been purposefully developed to support the growing demand of organoid usage across research and discovery, as well as safety pharmacology and toxicology studies.
