MatriXpec™
Tissue-specific hydrogels for 3D cell culture
and 3D bioprinting
MatriXpec™ hydrogels provide tissue-specific microenvironments for 3D cell culture, mimicking the native extracellular matrix.
​
-
MatriXpec™ Thermo is temperature-sensitive, ideal for 3D cell culture and FRESH bioprinting.
-
MatriXpec™ Photo enables UV photocrosslinking for precise, support-free bioprinting.
-
MatriXpec™ Ionic uses polysaccharides for ionic crosslinking, enhancing flexibility for tissue bioprinting.
​
