VitroINK IKVAV– Bioink Starter Kit (3ml)

VitroINK® – Bioink Starter Kit
VitroINK® Bioink Starter Kit contains both bioink and the complete mixing kit to prepare the cell bioink mixture for 3D bioprinting. The kit includes choice of bioink + the mixing kit:

VitroINK 3D       ( 3 mL) + VitroINK Mixing Kit
VitroINK RGD    ( 3 mL) + VitroINK Mixing Kit
VitroINK COL     ( 3 mL) + VitroINK Mixing Kit
VitroINK MMP    ( 3 mL) + VitroINK Mixing Kit
VitroINK  IKVAV ( 3 mL) + VitroINK Mixing Kit
VitroINK YIGSR ( 3 mL) + VitroINK Mixing Kit

The VitroINK Mixing Kit includes a Cell Mixer Dispenser, 1 mL syringe, 3 mL syringe, connectors and mixing head to get you started.
VitroINK is a ready-to-use tunable bioink modified with functional ligands, and cell adhesive peptide, promoting cell attachment and cell-matrix interactions. This RGD modified bioink can enhance cell adhesion, proliferation, motility/migration, and differentiation in different applications.

VitroINK Mixing Kit was designed to provide a robust mixing of bioink and cells. Cells can be prepared with VitroINK for a 3:1 mixing ratio using the 3 mL syringe or a 10:1 mixing ratio using the 1 mL syringe. Put the VitroINK and cell suspension in the Cell Mixer Dispenser and gently press the mixture through the connector and mixing head to your bioprinter cartridge. Wait 10-20 minutes for the mixture to stabilize before printing. There is no UV,  no temperature/pH curing, or chemical cross-linking for the VitroINK system. Simply adding cell culture medium to cover the printed structure can further stabilize and support cell growth. The bioprinted cells are ready for incubation.
