morph_ONE is a reproducible, mechanistic-driven assay that reveals how inhaled substances affect more than a dozen morphological and biochemical features of alveolar macrophages. The assay helps companies and researchers to correctly interpret the response of the immune system in the lungs to inhaled chemical products, improving product development and ensuring safety as well as saving time and money.
