T/CSB 0003-2024 Common Terminology for Organ Chips

Scope

Main technical content: Organ-on-chip is a new type of technology and tool platform that has developed in recent years in the field of biomedicine. It integrates engineering and biological strategies and can simulate the key structural and functional characteristics of human tissues and organs in vitro. It is a novel research model for human physiology and pathology, and has broad application prospects in life sciences, disease mechanisms, environmental exposure, toxicology research, and new drug development. At present, the development of the organ-on-chip field is at a critical stage. On the one hand, the technology is constantly evolving and the application space continues to expand; on the other hand, as a new type of non-clinical testing method, the common and characteristic elements of organ-on-chips, such as the classification and definition of organ-on-chips, structural design, cell sources, preparation processes, model construction, and functional verification, still lack consistent standards, becoming a bottleneck for the industrialization and promotion of organ-on-chips. In view of this, the development of the "General Terminology for Organ-on-Chips" group standard is aimed at accelerating the standardization process and scientific supervision in the field of organ-on-chips in China, and laying an important foundation for the interoperability, recognition, and transformation application of organ-on-chip models.
