While Cellink offers an extensive portfolio of biomaterials, BIO X is compatible with the widest range of biomaterials available.
As part of the patented Clean Chamber Technology of Cellink, both the BIO X and BIO X6 utilize HEPA filters and built-in UV sterilization, bringing increased cleanliness to the printing chamber and better cell safety.
The range of intelligent printheads brings users of the BIO X the utmost flexibility and interchangeability. The printheads are developed to suit many different biofabrication projects.
Generation 3 of the BIO X harnesses the power of the most advanced bioprinting software available today.
Three-dimensional cell cultures offer multiple advantages over 2D cell cultures, including the precise geometrical arrangement of multicellular constructs that can better recapitulate the native 3D human physiology. Extrusion-based bioprinters such as the BIO X offers great flexibility when designing 3D cell culture systems, as they allow researchers to precisely control geometries and the spatial patterning of cells and other biomaterials.
The merger of bioprinting and microfluidics opens the door to on-demand and personalized organ-on-a-chip models and may replace many preclinical steps in future drug trials. The BIO X, combined with microfluidic systems like the VasKit perfusion system allow for complex organ-chip models; and multi-printhead technology can be used in a one-step fabrication design with spatial heterogeneity of tissues.
The BIO X’s exceptional features maximize versatility to enhance your success in the following application areas and beyond.
The BIO X allows for 3D bioprinting with up to three printheads, enabling multi-material and multi-cell flixbility during small and large tissue engineering.
Bioprinters can do more than print with cells, they can also be used for fabricating hydrogel drug encapsulation and extended-release technologies. The BIO X bioprinter offers a variety of printheads that are compatible with different hydrogels. Drugs and bioactives can be mixed within the hydrogels and printed in patterns such as large patches or micrometer-sized beads.
