Overview GelMA (gelatin methacrylate) is a gelatin-based hydrogel composed of denatured collagen that reacts and crosslinks in the presence of LAP and UV (365 nm) light (1,2). The recommended preparation
Below are directions for a sample dual extrusion bioprint with Bioprint software. This protocol is meant for educational purposes to help you learn how to use your Allevi 2 and
Overview PCL (polycaprolactone) is a thermoplastic polymer that offers enhanced control over mechanical properties of final 3D structures. It is specifically developed and optimized for bioprinting of 3D structures. PCL
Overview: Silicone Bioprinting This protocol is a step-by-step guide to bioprinting silicone. Silicones are a class of elastomers composed of polymerized siloxanes that are characterized by their high durability, low
Overview The Allevi Triaxial Kit allows users to mix materials from three syringes during printing. Triaxial bioprinting allows for a new level of complexity and during-print material mixing. This is
Loading viscous materials, such as silicone or some formulations of collagen, might be tricky. If you need to transfer a viscous biomaterial to a printing syringe follow these simple steps:
Overview Immunocytochemistry (ICC) is a laboratory technique that allows for the detection of specific proteins or antigens in cells using selective probes that can be visualized under a microscope. This
Overview AlamarBlue is a fast assay that can measure cell viability. It is based on resazurin, a compound that upon entering living cells is reduced to resorufin. This reaction is
Overview Spheroids and organoids are 3D culture models that have served as simple, yet physiologically relevant organ samples when compared to 2D cell cultures. Researchers have used these models as
