3D bioprinting company BIO INX has released a new material called BIORES INX for its portfolio of bioprinting resins. The material would offer biocompatibility and compatibility with DLP (digital light processing) bioprinting platforms.
First developed at Ghent University, the gelatin methacrylamide (GelMA)-based resin has been improved by BIO INX and resembles the natural extracellular matrix.
The sterile resin meets ISO 10993-5 standards for biocompatibility. What sets BIORES INX apart is its liquid state at room temperature, a feature that eliminates the need for heated containers and prevents water evaporation during printing—common challenges associated with gelatin-based resins.
As the second bioresin in BIO INX’s DLP portfolio, and the 9th bioresin in BIO INX’ light-based portfolio, BIORES INX reinforces BIO INX’s mantra of “from light to life.”
“We believe that light-based bioprinting is the future of bioprinting thanks to elevated levels of reproducibility, higher resolution, and faster printing speeds,” said Dr. Aysu Arslan, Chief Scientific Officer at BIO INX. “The combination of light-based printing technologies with the extreme biocompatibility of gelatin is ideal for biofabrication applications. After introducing our HydroBIO INX portfolio for high-resolution printing and ReadyGel INX for volumetric printing, developing a gelatin-based DLP resin was the logical next step. However, unlike volumetric and MPL printing, where gelatin’s gelation behavior at room temperature is advantageous, it posed a challenge for DLP printing—one we are thrilled to have overcome with this latest innovation.”
BIORES INX is delivered as a sterile, ready-to-use kit, with a detailed application manual aligning with the company’s “plug & print” principle.
The launch of BIORES INX also represents BIO INX’s commitment to providing cross-platform compatibility. With equivalent gelatin formulations now available across four different bioprinting platforms, researchers and biofabricators can seamlessly transfer their work between technologies, enhancing efficiency and scalability.
