The core microfluidic technology that powers our bioprinters.

Our Lab-on-a-Printer™ technology was developed to biofabricate complex, functional 3D tissue. Cell-containing bioinks flow through a microfluidic printhead where fibres are generated using coaxial flow focusing and gelation or solidification, then patterned into a 3D structure. A microfluidic approach to 3D printing enables you to:

• create heterogeneous 3D tissues
• deposit multiple bioinks from a single nozzle
• precisely control tissue microenvironment

Create or import 3D files, customize multi-material deposition patterns, and visualize your tissue design in our easy-to-use, versatile software. Smooth integration between design and print functions enables easy tuning and optimization of your design.

Our growing portfolio of disposable and modular microfluidic printheads offers sophisticated tissue design features, including:

• seamless switching between different cell-containing bioinks (as many as four materials)
• compatibility with a wide range of bioinks including those with low viscosity for ECM-like scaffolds that promote tissue function
• unprecedented control over fibre diameter (10-400 microns)

Recreate and investigate tissue contraction with a 3D bioprinted tissue model.

Bioprinted using our Lab-on-a-Printer™ technology, the 3DBioRing™ tissue platform recreates the rapid contraction and relaxation of real human muscle tissues. The 3DBioRing™ tissue exhibits natural muscle bundle morphology and cellular alignment formed from cell-loaded fibres. The platform is broadly applicable to multiple contractile tissue types, with the first powerful example being the 3DBioRing™ Airway for physiologically-relevant and reproducible in vitro investigation of bronchoconstriction and relaxation.
