Lifeink 240

Lifeink® 240 is a 35 mg/ml type I collagen bioink for extrusion based 3D bioprinting. Lifeink® 240 comes with acidic pH and when FRESH printed into LifeSupport® yields a neutralized, high resolution collagen scaffold.


Lifeink® 240 produces printed structures with a high print resolution and good mechanical strength. The product is formulated in an acidic saline buffer solution. Once the collagen is printed into LifeSupport®, the pH and salts concentration of the printed structure become physiological. Cells can then be seeded onto the printed structure allowing for cell adherence and cellular remodeling of the 3D bioprinted structure.
