The combined competences of UpNano in developing 3D printing systems and BIO INX® in designing innovative inks for 3D printing gelled well together. Our U-product line of biomaterials for multiphoton lithography features excellent processability and reproducibility. Especially for high-resolution bio applications, it is important that hardware and printing resin are optimally matched to each other.
Cooperation with BIO INX®
BIO INX®, a spin-off company of Ghent University and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, focuses on the commercialization of materials and bioinks for 3D bioprinting and biofabrication. For product development and establishment, the team relies on, among other technologies, a NanoOne Bio system.
The integrated incubation system is essential and important for their work. The HYDROBIO INX U200 is the first hydrogel for use together with living cells and 2-photon polymerization that is also crystal clear for light-microscope use, a very important factor for many researchers. Many years of research work by the team have already resulted in a remarkable material portfolio. With a diverse range of material properties, the applications become nearly limitless: the bioinks can be applied for various tissue types with applications in regenerative medicine as well as drug and cosmetics screening and bioengineering.
