Description
Chitosan forms mechanically stable hydrogels with good cell affinity and has been extensively used in research related to tissue engineering of cartilage, skin and bone. By incorporating glucomannan and a glycerol phosphate salt, Chitoink provides good printability at physiological pH, high shape fidelity, sufficient mechanical properties and biocompatibility. After bioprinting, Chitoink crosslinks easily with the included ionic TPP Crosslinking Agent.
- Shelf Life:
- Chitoink and TPP Crosslinking Agent: minimum 1.5 months.
- Storage conditions:
- Chitoink and TPP Crosslinking Agent: 2-10°C, do not freeze.
- For research use only. Not for human use.
