CELLINK BIO X6 bioprinting platform

CELLINK has announced the BIO X6 — a six-printhead bioprinting platform that enables users to combine several materials, cells and tools. It is claimed to be the only bioprinter that combines six printheads with CELLINK’s Clean Chamber Technology and intelligent exchangeable printhead technology, and is a suitable platform for meeting the needs of advanced tissue engineers, regenerative medicine labs and cancer biologists that require high-throughput bioprinting and dispensing.

The product gives the user the freedom to combine multiple materials in one print and the capability to create more complex architectures. Organs and tissues, for example, are composed of many different cell types, so the BIO X6 enables users to combine six or more cell types to print advanced organ and tissue models.

Users have the ability to use different pressures, temperatures and printing methods simultaneously in six different positions. They can mix the cells in each printhead with a tailored bioink, providing the cells with the biological environment they need to achieve the desired architecture.

The technology was developed by CELLINK in order to advance research and clinical applications in the bioprinting field. The system comes with a movable arm mount, enabling multiple possibilities in one system. Users can either control through a Wi-Fi connection or through a detachable tablet on the movable arm mount.
