What configuration do I need for my application?
There is no bioprinter for all applications, each tissue or material requires a specific configuration even if there are common configurations for various types of tissues. Here are some possible configurations
1. Skin application : The module with heated syringe which permits to reach temperatures up to 50ºC is recommended normally (by default on V1 and V2). The bioprinter configuration allows to install up to two heated syringes per bioprinter. Additionally, Petri dish or Multiwell adapter has allowed our collaborators to achieve amazing results in this area of research.
2. Application for biomaterials development. . We recommend working with a heated or cooled module to achieve a greater temperature range. If temperatures below 0 are required, the cooling system (syringe, bed and refrigerator) with temperatures from -20 to 100ºC must be added..
The equipment configuration allows working with materials of different viscosity ranges.
The equipment can be configured with a two-component syringe system to achieve a homogeneous mix of two materials during the printing process..
It is also possible to include a UV curing module or blue light for crosslinking for those materials that require it..
3. Cardiac tissue regeneration application: : Cardiac tissue regeneration application: The collaborators who work in this research area require temperature control below 0ºC on the printing surface, in the same way they require precise control of the syringe temperature. Therefore, the ideal configuration is the installation of refrigerated bed, refrigerated syringe and refrigeration system, which will allow to control temperature ranges between -20 and 100ºC both in the bed and in the syringe.
