GelXA FIBRIN
Based on our GelXA Bioink, GelXA FIBRIN contains fibrinogen to help you study wound-healing environments. Fibrinogen forms complex and stable networks after crosslinking. The included crosslinking solution contains thrombin to develop a compound network with unparalleled stability. GelXA offers dual-crosslinking capabilities through photocuring and treatment with our ionic thombin-containing crosslinking agent.
Also available with a CELLINK base.
Uses
- Use as a throughput 3D model (deposited as droplets) with the BIO X Temperature Controlled or Syringe Printhead.
- Fabricate 3D constructs for tissue applications (example use here)

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.
