GelXA BONE
GelXA BONE is an enhanced formulation of the GelXA bioink intended for targeted cell differentiation for bone applications whether as a standalone 3D construct or in conjugation with a thermoplastic scaffold. GelXA BONE offers dual-crosslinking capabilities through photocuring and treatment with ionic crosslinking agent.
Also available with a CELLINK base.
Uses
- Use as a 3D model (example use here) with the BIO X Temperature Controlled or Syringe Printhead.
- Printed in conjugation with the BIO X Thermoplastic Printhead to complement a thermoplastic scaffold such as PCL.

Product number: IK3X21350303 (3 x 3 mL)
We began offering a new and improved GelXA formulation in September 2019. The new blend enables more efficient photocrosslinking and a slightly lower stiffness after ionic crosslinking. If you would like to order the previous version, our team can prepare it upon request.
