Ease of Handling

Liquid at warm temperatures and viscous when cooled—eliminating the need for overnight thawing and ice storage.

TARGETING THE RIGHT STIFFNESS

Originally designed for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer models, VoxCell’s Universal Bioink™ also aligns with the stiffness profiles of breast, ovarian, lung, and prostate—offering versatility and the potential to support a wide range of tissue models.

DISCOVER THE 'UNIVERSAL' ADVANTAGE

The Universal Bioink™ is compatible with light-based bioprinting technologies*, and validated across commercial extrusion and digital light processing (DLP) bioprinters.

*Compatible with 1PP bioprinting technologies.

High shape fidelity and smooth extrusion across multiple printing windows

Shear-thinning and temperature responsive behaviour for smooth printing

Proven biocompatibility with high cell viability, tested with breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231) and lung cancer cell line (NCI-H460)

BEYOND BIOPRINTING

Explore the benefits of Universal Bioink™ as a matrix for 3D cell culture.
