Materials for bioink development
Get started with your own bioink formulations.
Formulating your own bioink does not have to be difficult.
With an extensive portfolio of all the must-haves for developing reliably reproducible custom bioink formulations in no time. Our base materials, thickeners and crosslinkers are standardized and quality controlled to ensure they will yield consistent and reproducible results. Developing and customizing bioink formulations that can be reliably reproduced starts with these high-quality components.
Concentrated components
Fine-tune formulations by reconstituting components.
Want complete control over your bioink development? Does your bioink manufacturing require a specific concentration? Many of our biomaterials and bioink components are available as sterile lyophilizates and powders that can be reconstituted to any concentration in order to fine-tune properties. These biomaterials are also packaged in kits that include reconstitution agents, crosslinkers and consumables to get you started even faster.

Thickeners
Stabilize bioinks to facilitate printability.
Thickening agents serve a critical role in the development of a bioink by imparting shear-thinning characteristics that facilitate stabilization and printability. Many of our thickening agents are available for bioink development, each tailored for a specific application and end use.

Neutralizers and Buffers
Fast and easy dilution and neutralizing.
Using a solution with the optimal pH and isotonicity when reconstituting biomaterials is vital for successful cell culturing. Our reconstitution agents and buffers are optimized to make the reconstitution, dilution and neutralizing of biomaterials easy and fast.

Crosslinking Agents and Photoinitiators
Keep bioinks intact and stable.
Crosslinking of your bioinks is vital for keeping them intact and stable during cell culture and analysis. The crosslinking agent is the ideal companion for any alginate-based bioink since it enables ionic crosslinking with calcium ions. Photoinitiators are used in combination with methacrylated biomaterials to enable photocuring by forming covalent bonds and are ideal for use with ColMA, GelMA and HAMA.
