BIONOVA X

Uncovering the Depths of Biology with High Throughput In-Well DLP Bioprinting

Bringing Direct In-Well Printing to Light-based Bioprinting

The cutting-edge BIONOVA X is a high throughput, high speed and high precision DLP 3D bioprinter, bringing light-based bioprinting to an entirely new level.

By enabling multi-material bioprinting and multi-stiffness bioprinting, as well as live cell printing, users can recapitulate in vivo biomechanical properties with ease. The biofabrication of more accurate in vitro models enables greater results across the world of tissue engineering.

Regenerative Medicine

From Medical Images to 3D Models

With the BIONOVA X, we are taking regenerative medicine to another level. As a result of multi-stiffness capabilities and multi-material printing, combined with live cell printing, BIONOVA X users can create realistic models that may eventually help regenerate aspects of our body. Thanks in part to its heated printbed, the BIONOVA X is excellent for use with biocompatible materials that promote cell proliferation, further enabling its use in both regenerative and personal medicine applications.

Disease Modeling

Recreate Disease-like Conditions Through Microarchitectures

The very high resolution of 10 μm enables greater control of developing microarchitectures within your biomimetic tissue models. This enables you to mimic any physiological abnormalities typically find in the disease you are studying, allowing even more disease-like conditions. By enabling this in up-to 96 structures per print, you can do this at greater outputs than ever before. Owed to multi-stiffness and multi-material capabilities, the BIONOVA X has the ability to recapitulate in vivo biomechanical properties of both diseased and healthy tissue within your in vitro models.

Featured Application Note

Bioprinting human microheart models for precision medicine and drug discovery

This in-depth application note demonstrates how leveraging the continuous printing mechanism unique to the BIONOVA X enables biofabrication of physiologically relevant cardiac constructs capable of enhanced maturation.

Micropillars were printed directly into the well plate, and iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes were seeded around them for models capable of contraction. This print is ideal for applications like drug testing and disease modeling.
