Overview
Lifeink® 260 from Advanced BioMatrix is a 70 mg/ml type I collagen bioink that has been specifically developed for extrusion based FRESH 3D bioprinting.
Lifeink® 260 is available with acidic pH and when FRESH printed into LifeSupport® provides a high-resolution, neutralized collagen scaffold.
Lifeink® 260 is known as an acidic Type I collagen bioink having a concentration of 70 mg/ml for extrusion-based 3D bioprinting. The product seems to be a highly concentrated acidified collagen solution and it has been intended to be extrusion printed using FRESH bioprinting.
Lifeink® 260 helps generate printed structures with good mechanical strength and high print resolution. The product has been developed in an acidic saline buffer solution. As soon as the collagen has been printed into LifeSupport®, the pH and salts concentration of the printed structure turn out to be physiological.
Furthermore, cells can be seeded onto the printed structure thereby enabling cellular remodeling and cell adherence of the 3D bioprinted structure.
