| Model | Stability | CYP2B6 expression | Phenotype maintenance | Cell numbers required | Canaliculi formed | Complexity | Comments |
| 2D layer | 1-2 days | Minimal | Poor | Medium | No | Low | Current gold standard | 2D sandwich in gel matrices | 2 weeks | Silent | Poor | Medium | Yes | Medium | Matrix batches vary | 3D spheroids | >5 weeks | Silent | Good | Low | Yes | Medium | Cannot add shear stress | Hollow fiber | >5 weeks | Minimal | Good | High | Yes | High | Fixed high shear stress | Miniature perfused hollow fiber | >5 weeks | Present | Good | Low | Yes | High | Physiological shear stress exerted | Rotating wall vessel | >5 weeks | Present | Good | Low | Yes | Medium | Physiological shear stress exerted |
