3D Bioprinting of Self-standing Collagen Constructs for Soft Tissue Engineering
Written by scientists for scientists on bioprinting with premium collagen bioink for more stable constructs. Overcome the proven difficulties of biofabricating tissue models with collagen because of its inferior concentration and biomechanical properties. Learn to use highly concentrated ready-to-print collagens to bioprint more complex, self-standing in vitro soft tissue models for a wide range of biomedical applications.
Constructs bioprinted with ABM’s collagen bioinks Lifeink 200 and Lifeink 220 and CELLINK’s BIO X demonstrate:
- Shear-thinning properties and high storage modulus after crosslinking
- Cell stretching and network formation after 7 days of culturing
- High cell migration and ECM remodeling after 14 days of culturing
- Lifeink 200 is ideal for printing soft tissue constructs with fewer layers
- Lifeink 220 is ideal for printing multilayered, slightly stiffer constructs
