COLLGEL bioink
Created a unique injection-type general-purpose collagen bioink, opening a new lead for regenerative medicine
COLLGEL bio-ink product introduction
COLLGEL bioink
Type I collagen powder injection form of animal origin, 0.6 g/does
The raw material is extracted from porcine tendon type I collagen, the most significant collagen existing in the ECM, high in content and rich in collagen. It is more than 90% similar to human amino acid sequence, often applied in medical and tissue engineering, and is of weak antigenicity.
Since Collagen exists in human body and through processed collagen biopsy or collagen processed viable tissue, it can be easily composed as part of the body.
Our product is supplied with a powder in-syringe with 0.6 g per shot, and it can be freely formulated with ink concentration level and even post-processing approaches.
With COLLGEL bioink printing, COLLGEL can directly mix with pH neutral solutions and you may also choose acidic solution to accelerate collagen swelling efficiency. While the 3D environment allows cell elongation, it collaborates and integrates with the cell surface to further activate specific cell functions. If you use cell co-culture bioinks, please prepare ink types before compounding with cells with the recommended ink concentration level below 5%. If the bioink concentration level correlates with mechanical strength for direct bioprinting, we recommend the ink concentration level above 6%.
COLLGEL can meet the requirements of 3D bioink is bioactive, so it is prepared with printability, machine adjustability, and excellent cell compatibility.
Product Description
*COLLGEL bioink is meant for research, not for human testing or any other purpose.
The advantage of using COLLGEL bioinks
Natural Collagen
It is extracted from pig tendon, Type I atelocollagen, which has excellent biocompatibility with weak antigenicity.
Mechanical property
You can adjust the most viable collagen concentration level at your liberty to achieve a different mechanical strength of tissue environment for cell culture.
Free adjustment
Powder in-syringe allows users to control the ink concentration and simultaneously compound it with other bio-materials.
Excellent bio-compatibility
COLLGEL bio-ink is cell compatible, capable of supporting the adhesion and growth of all sorts of cells including stem cells, osteoblasts, fibroblasts, and hepatocytes.
Chemotaxis
Collagen bio-ink is , which allows cell growth and adhesion.
Easy to handle
Powder in-syringes are easy to handle and it can directly compound with pH neutral solutions to accelerate collagen swelling efficiency via acidic solutions.
Printability
Targeted 3D bio-ink application is optimized: fluidity under low temperature and fast gelation under 37℃.
Adaptable to multiple application
The application can be adjusted based on the concentration level, from low concentration hydrogel cell compound or drug release to high concentration 3D bioprinting.
Convenient with preservation and transport
It can be preserved at room temperature, without cold storage, which is advantageous to transport.
