These innovations will allow for higher cell viability and better reproducibility when bioprinting temperature-sensitive bioinks such as collagen. Thus, accelerating scientific research and 3D cell-based assays for drug discovery and tissue engineering.
BICO, the world's leading bio convergence company, has been granted two patents relating to the regulation and precise control of bioink's processing temperatures in 3D Bioprinters. The first patent, US 11,046,001, was granted in
"Our mission at BICO is to create the future of medicine and improve health globally through the convergence of key biotechnologies," says Erik Gatenholm, CEO and co-founder of BICO. "These innovations will help our incredible customers drive advancements across drug discovery, tissue engineering, and disease modeling."
BICO believes 3D bioprinting will help accelerate drug development and eventually alleviate the strain on organ transplants and this patent is an important milestone in that mission. It is vital during the printing process to maintain a constant printing temperature to keep cells alive. Temperature control is paramount while bioprinting Collagen and Gelatin-based bioinks to avoid clogging the nozzles and have reproducible results. The two patents strengthen the company's protection for intellectual properties and complements a full portfolio of solutions being developed by BICO and its subsidiary
"At BICO we work tirelessly to consistently improve and innovate our bioprinting offerings," says Dr.
