Cellink Bio X Bioprinter
Cellink hope the BIO X is the new go-to bioprinter for life science companies, researchers and innovators who work with bioprinting.
Cellink has launched the BIO X printer to its range of bioprinters, which provides tissue engineers with both pneumatic and syringe extrusion technologies in one system.
The Swedish company has been a leader in 3D bioprinting and has expanded its range of capabilities with this latest technology. Following on from the INKREDIBLE and INKREDIBLE+ bioprinters, the BIO X is said to be able to print a range of biomaterials, including, heart, skin, cartilage and bone tissues.
Cellink hope the BIO X is the new go-to bioprinter for life science companies, researchers and innovators who work with bioprinting. Built to meet the needs of today’s bio-scientists, BIO X’s responsive Neocortex M1 internal computer allows the user to orchestrate the intricate process of building human tissues.
The bioprinter delivers on several features that scientists have been anxiously waiting for. It allows human tissues with a wide range of biomaterials that mimic the cell’s native environment to be produced. Whether the output is skin or bone, the user has full control on the selection of biomaterial for their tissue application. The print heads also offer some useful features, including cooling, heating and different extrusion methods. These make it possible to bioprint a wide range of bioinks and cells with minimal effort.
Additionally, the BIO X is equipped with Cellink’s patent pending Clean Chamber Technology through HEPA filtration and the bioprinter has the ability to control the temperature of the print-bed to widen the selection of printable biomaterials. The BIO X software is also designed to guide the user in every step to simplify the bioprinting process.
“We are differentiators helping innovators succeed,” said Erik Gatenholm. “We help researchers throughout the entire process and adapt to their needs, from providing the most user friendly technology to designing experiments, in order to help them achieve the results they desire. The BIO X printer will revolutionise the way bioprinting has been done in the last decade and open up a new path for scientist from multiple fields to come together and engineer human tissues.”
Bioprinting utilises 3D printing technology combined with bioink to create complex three-dimensional structures. By using bioink, the structures can be built with living cells to create real, living tissue. The additive techniques ensure precision and flexibility when it comes to the placement of cells and different cell types.
Celling, the first bioink company in the world, is also the creator of the world’s first universal bioink enabling scientist and tissue engineers to bioprint using any type of cells.
