Overview
Lifeink® 240 from Advanced BioMatrix is a 35 mg/ml type I collagen bioink that has been specifically developed for extrusion-based FRESH 3D bioprinting.
Lifeink® 240 is available with acidic pH and when FRESH printed into LifeSupport® provides a high-resolution, neutralized, collagen scaffold.
Lifeink® 240 is an acidic Type I collagen bioink at a concentration of 35 mg/ml for extrusion-based 3D bioprinting. The product has been a highly concentrated acidified collagen solution planned to be extrusion printed employing FRESH bioprinting.
Lifeink® 240 generates printed structures along with a high print resolution and good mechanical strength. The product has been formulated in an acidic saline buffer solution.
As soon as the collagen has been printed into LifeSupport®, the pH and salts concentration of the printed structure turns out to be physiological. Furthermore, cells can be seeded onto the printed structure enabling cellular remodeling and cell adherence of the 3D bioprinted structure.
