Nanoscribe and CELLINK, two BICO companies, today jointly unveiled the Quantum X bio, a 3D bioprinter that is designed for tissue engineering, cell biology and for the microfabrication of biomedical applications.
The Quantum X bio is the bioprinter enabling submicron printing resolution. Powered by Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP), the Quantum X bio is the premier tool for miniaturizing bioprinting to redefine the development of complex tissue or cell scaffolds and of advanced biomedical applications.
The new Quantum X bio brings essential features like temperature control, sterile environment and functionalized biomaterials. Transferring Nanoscribe’s submicrometer resolution to biofabrication is the key to effectively accelerating innovation across life science applications like tissue engineering, drug delivery, mechanobiology, microfluidics and vascularized tissue.
The Quantum X bio provides researchers the ability to adjust print resolution to fit their designs, allowing them to control finest details down to 100 nanometer precision. Thanks to the bioprinter’s unmatched precision in combination with tremendous speed, it is the optimal tool for the fabrication of advanced microenvironments for tissue engineering, custom scaffolds for cell studies, and many other innovative biological applications.
The new Quantum X bio will also be driving live cell printing. Live cell printing means printing with living cells in the resin, which is a major challenge because cells are typically under stress while being processed and residing inside the printer. Quantum X bio is equipped with live cell printing features such as sterile, temperature-controlled environment and a cell-friendly wavelength of the laser (780 nm).
Moreover, the versatile tool covers biomedical applications like customized microfluidic elements and microneedle arrays or microrobots for drug delivery. Connecting the micro to the macro world, 3D structures can be placed intuitively and with highest precision into microfluidic channels or wells by simply tapping on the machine’s touchscreen.
