RASTRUM 3D Bioprinter
“Drop-on-demand” bioprinting of cells and hydrogels to create 3D cultures
Description
The RASTRUM is a compact benchtop 3D bioprinter that suits high-throughput applications and creates organoids, tissue-like structures and complex 3D models supported by research-led bespoke matrices.
Inventia have developed in-house bioink formulations that gel instantly on the combination of two separate droplets. These bioinks, combined with the ability to create multiple matrix-building blocks, with or without cells allow researchers to create 3D cell models, layer-by-layer.
