GelMA Lyophilizate
GelMA is a freeze-dried product of porcine gelatin functionalized with methacrylate groups. It is one of the most popular biomaterials in tissue engineering, used in a variety of applications. GelMA is easy to dissolve in our Reconstitution Agent P at your target concentration to prepare your unique bioink. Addition of a photoinitiator is vital to make your bioink photocrosslinkable and thereby stable in cell culture applications.
Applications
- In a low concentration formulation for use with the BIO X EMD Printhead to generate microspheres
- In a high concentration formulation to generate bioinks such as GelMA Bioink or blended with other additives to generate your own unique bioink.
- Compatible with thickeners such as Nanofibrillated Cellulose, Xanthan Gum, and Glucomannan.
- After 3D cell culture you can easily harvest the cells for analysis using the Cell Collect G Bioink Lysis Reagent.
Recommended for use with BIO X, a temperature-controlled printhead and a cooled print bed, or INKREDIBLE+ with a heated printhead. Not recommended for use with INKREDIBLE.
