Description PhotoGel 50% DS is lyophilized GelMA (gelatin methacrylate). It’s a freeze-dried product of porcine gelatin functionalized with methacrylate groups. GelMA is one of the most popular biomaterials in tissue engineering as it can be used in a variety of applications. PhotoGel 50% DS is easy to dissolve in our Reconstitution Agent P at your target concentration to prepare your unique bioink. The addition of a photoinitiator is vital to make your bioink photocrosslinkable and thereby stable in cell culture applications. Recommended for use with BIO X, a temperature-controlled printhead and a cooled print bed, or INKREDIBLE with a heated printhead, as well as BIONOVA X. Applications In a low concentration formulation for use with the BIO X EMD Printhead to generate microspheres In a high concentration formulation to generate bioinks such as GelMA Bioink or blended with other additives to generate your own unique bioink. Compatible with thickeners such as Nanofibrillated Cellulose, Xanthan Gum, and Glucomannan. After 3D cell culture you can easily harvest the cells for analysis using the Cell Collect G Bioink Lysis Reagent. Product information Two 500 mg bottles of PhotoGel 50% DS (sterile) (lyophilized GelMA). Minimum 9 months shelf life. Optional photoinitiator: LAP or Irgacure 2959 (non-sterile) For research use only. Not for human use. Publications The latest publications using PhotoGel 50% DS.
