2. Specifications
The Corning® Matribot® Bioprinter is equipped with a single, high-accuracy temperature regulated, syringe-based extrusion printhead,
heated printbed, and a 405 nm LED curing system for bioprinting of complex human tissue models for 3D cell culture and tissue
engineering research. It is a unit for innovators to enter the 3D cell culture and bioprinting fields and start bioprinting living tissue models
with ease. It can be used as a standalone unit via the LCD controller, or it can be monitored and controlled via USB-interface to a computer
with the use of included software. Corning DNA Studio translates your three-dimensional CAD models into coordinates and instructions
for the Corning Matribot Bioprinter to precisely deposit your materials onto a Petri dish, well plate, or other vessel. The bioprinting
and biodispensing processes work through the extrusion of a hydrogel biomaterial, such as Corning Matrigel® matrix, Collagen, or any
basement membrane matrix combined with human cells in a bottom-up, layer-by-layer fashion until a 3D tissue model is built. Depending
on your biomaterial crosslinking or gelation requirements, the bioprinted 3D construct is crosslinked by increasing the temperature of the
printbed or using the 405 nm LED curing system.
