BIO x Extrusion Bioprinter

Generation 3 of the go-to 3D bioprinter for cell biologists, tissue engineers and biomedical researchers.

Overview

Most user-friendly and flexible bioprinter in the world

Open biomaterial platform

While Cellink offers an extensive portfolio of biomaterials, BIO X is compatible with the widest range of biomaterials available.

 

Better Cell Safety

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.

 

Intelligent Printheads for flexibility

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.

Designed to do even more

3D cell culture

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.

 

Organ-on-a-chip

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.

 

Tissue models and engineering

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.

 

Drug delivery

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.

The BIO X’s compatibility with virtually any material makes it the bioprinter of choice for industry leaders at the forefront of today’s biggest scientific breakthroughs. Whether you are automating 3D cell cultures, developing complex tissue constructs or testing new drug compounds, the BIO X 3D bioprinter has the advanced functionality and versatility to streamline workflows in a wide range of application areas.
Built-in UV sterilization and a HEPA filter bring the sterility of the biosafety cabinet to the benchtop. Dual high-powered fans channel air through a HEPA H14 filter which is designed to remove 99.995% of unwanted particles and microorganisms as part of the Clean Chamber™ technology, which also includes UV-C germicidal lights and rounded edges. Initiate Clean Chamber before beginning your experiment to ensure a cleaner environment in the chamber.
We offer an extensive portfolio of bioinks but understand the importance of material development, which is why we built the BIO X to be an open system that is compatible with the widest range of materials available. Start developing your own bioinks with our high-quality bioink development products or explore our ready-to-print bioinks.
Bioprint with a wider range of materials and cell types thanks to precise printhead and printbed temperature control. With a printhead temperature range of 4°C to 250°C and a printbed temperature range between 4°C and 65°C, enjoy precise control of temperatures when working with temperature-sensitive materials like collagen and gelatin. The possibilities are limitless when you are able to work with a wider range of materials and cell types.
BIO X is the first 3D bioprinter in the world with Intelligent Printheads (iPH), ensuring your research is always at the forefront. With an ever-growing list of Intelligent Printheads, the possibilities are limitless, giving you more freedom to push your research further. Our family of intelligent printheads is always growing. Each printhead system is made to suit different biofabrication application, which helps ensure the best possible result for your 3D bioprint.
