Universal Compatibility
The BIO X’s open material platform is designed to give you the ability to bioprint with the widest range of materials.
We offer an extensive portfolio of bioinks but understand the importance of material development, which is why we built the BIO X to be an open system that is compatible with the widest range of materials available. Start developing your own bioinks with our high-quality bioink development products or explore our ready-to-print bioinks.
Patented Clean Chamber for Better Cell Safety
Built-in UV sterilization and a HEPA filter bring the sterility of the biosafety cabinet to the benchtop.
Clean Chamber for Better Cell Viability
Built-in UV sterilization and HEPA filters bring the sterility of the biosafety cabinet to the benchtop.
Dual high-powered fans channel air through a HEPA H14 filter to remove 99.995% of unwanted particles and microorganisms as part of the Clean Chamber™ technology, which also includes UV-C germicidal lights, rounded edges and positive air pressure. Initiate Clean Chamber before beginning your experiment to ensure full sterility around the print area for the duration of the print.
User-centered Design
Auto calibrate the printer directly from the touchscreen for added efficiency, even while wearing gloves.
