Core Tip	This work describes the development of a simplified bioartiticial liver prototype (BAL, suitable to use rat liver Microorgans (LMOs) as biological component, and the evaluation of these tissue slices performance in this new model. We demonstrate that the minibioreactor constructed allows a good performance of fresh and cold preserved LMOs, showing the importance of architecture and model configuration on these devices design. Besides its application as BAL, this minibioreactor could serve as a suitable laboratory tool to evaluate the behavior and functionality of LMOs subjected to different preservation protocols due to its simple design and the utilization of standard materials.
