MatriXpec™
Tissue-specific hydrogels for 3D cell culture
and 3D bioprinting
MatriXpec™ hydrogels provide tissue-specific microenvironments for 3D cell culture, mimicking the native extracellular matrix.
-
MatriXpec™ Thermo is temperature-sensitive, ideal for 3D cell culture and FRESH bioprinting.
-
MatriXpec™ Photo enables UV photocrosslinking for precise, support-free bioprinting.
-
MatriXpec™ Ionic uses polysaccharides for ionic crosslinking, enhancing flexibility for tissue bioprinting.
All versions are available for Adipose, Bone, Brain, Cartilage, Colon, Kidney, Liver, Lung, Muscle, Myocardium, Pancreas, Skin, Spleen, Stomach, and Vascular tissues.
Available for 15 Different Tissues
