GelXA LAMININK 521
Laminin’s properties essential to cell differentiation, migration and adhesion are now available in a stable and easy-to-use bioink.
GelXA LAMININK 521 is a great starting point for culturing many cell types. Laminin 521 induces self-renewal for pluripotent and embryonic stem cells. GelXA LAMININK 521 supports many types of cells, including cells from pancreatic, vascular, nervous and muscular systems. You can use it as a base for specialized cells including hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes and neurons.
GelXA LAMININK 521 is an enhanced formulation of our GelXA Bioink that contains several laminins and offers excellent printability and easy crosslinking, and is a great starting point for culturing many cell types in 3D. 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.
- As a bioprinted 3D construct as demonstrated in the Liver Tissue Model Kit
