Empowering researchers to take the step into another dimension
Conventional approaches such as traditional cell culture or animal testing have limitations, prompting the demand for more precise in vitro models in the life sciences. BIO ONE is an instrument that empowers researchers regardless of previous knowledge in constructing more physiologically relevant models, while reducing cost and ensuring more accurate data.
Cooling capabilities
Rapidly cool the BIO ONE printhead down to 0 °C and maintain the temperature throughout the print. With a novel design, ensure temperature stability till the tip of the nozzle from start to finish.
Material flexibility
The BIO ONE is designed to be an open material platform, meaning that users can load any material into a syringe and dispense it, including temperature-sensitive materials like collagen.
Precision extrusion
Enable total control over your print with the high-precision mechanical extrusion of the BIO ONE. The mechanism boasts an impressive 0.1 μL volume step.
Heated printbed
Extend construct stability and cell viability for heat-responsive materials through thermal crosslinking, using the built-in printbed heating ranging from RT – 65 °C.
Maximized reproducibility
Enable highly reproducible structures with limited print-to-print variation and human error, by both leveraging the precision and by saving your protocols to the software.
DNA Studio Core
Powered by DNA Studio Core, the BIO ONE has ease-of-use as its core principle, which makes it easier than ever to enter the world of 3D cell culture.
The BIO ONE Printhead
Precision in every print
The BIO ONE is equipped with a mechanically driven syringe-based printhead, ensuring precision and reproducibility in 3D model development. Mechanical extrusion offers superior accuracy when compared to pneumatic extrusion.

Biomaterials & Consumables
Built as an open material platform
BIO ONE is built from the ground up with flexibility in mind, with the intent that users can add any biomaterial and dispense it. This is achieved through DNA Studio Core, where we can easily modify printing parameters like retraction volume and extrusion rate. Couple this with printhead cooling capabilities and a heated printbed to further the system’s biomaterial flexibility.
The cooled BIO ONE printhead, integrated into the bioprinter, plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of collagen during printing. The cooling technology effectively prevents denaturation or degradation of the collagen. CELLINK offers multiple collagen materials, providing researchers with versatile options for various applications, with limited batch-to-batch variability.
Matrigel® is commonly used in cellular studies today. Its gelatinous nature – rich in growth factors and bioactive components – necessitates precise handling during the bioprinting process. The integration of the cooled BIO ONE printhead prevents gelation and minimizes the risk of clogging, resulting in consistent and reproducible printed constructs with high print fidelity.
Matrigel is a registered trademark of Corning, Inc.
The BIO ONE is designed for printing with any biomaterial of your choice. When using a custom material – whether developing your own or buying from another vendor – it is important to take note of the features of the BIO ONE. Namely, the Printhead temperature range from RT – 0 °C and the Printbed temperature range from RT – 65 °C play a key role in determining material compatibility.

Tissue Engineering
Engineering 3D tissue models
Bioprinting has become an essential tool in tissue engineering. With its user-friendly interface, the BIO ONE is the ideal stepping stone to start creating 3D tissue models. The easy creation of 3D tissue models such as cartilage or skin is a great boon in the research of a tissue’s regenerative properties, the study of wound healing, and developing in vitro alternatives to animals for cosmetic testing.
Material Science
Developing the next gen of biomaterials
The open platform of the BIO ONE allows users to freely develop and readily use their own materials, without any workarounds or fees. Relying on non-proprietary syringes and nozzles, it is possible to print with any bioink. The software allows fine tuning of various printing parameters, including volume and flow, which means you can create protocols for most materials. This ensures the system can be used in multiple areas of material sciences, from bioink development and soft robotics to smart materials.
Drug Discovery
Better insights into the best candidates
With printing capability on up to 384-well plates, the BIO ONE enables researchers within the field of drug discovery to easily increase the number of replicates and gain a more accurate understanding of compound activity. This accelerates the drug discovery process by ensuring only the best candidates are carried along to clinical trials. Simply print an array of droplets to investigate drug delivery in easily reproducible in vitro models.
