Probiotic Adhesion Tests at ProbionalytiX Labs
- At ProbionalytiX Labs, our Probiotic Adhesion Tests are designed to evaluate the ability of probiotics to adhere to gut epithelial cells. This critical characteristic underpins the efficacy of probiotics in supporting gut health by establishing a protective barrier and enhancing colonization potential in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Our testing process employs an advanced in vitro epithelial cell adhesion assay using established gut epithelial cell lines (e.g., Caco-2 or HT-29). These cell lines mimic the intestinal environment, providing a highly controlled and reliable platform to assess probiotic adhesion properties.
