What Does TEER Stand For?

TEER stands for Transepithelial Electric Resistance

TEER, or Transepithelial Electric Resistance, is a measurement used to assess the integrity and permeability of epithelial cell layers. It quantifies the electrical resistance across a cell monolayer, providing insights into barrier function, cell confluence, and the effects of treatments on epithelial tissue. TEER is commonly employed in pharmacological and toxicological studies to evaluate drug absorption and safety in vitro.
