ColMA Bioink has its own unique place amongst the hydrogels used in 3D bioprinting. It is composed of collagen, a major component of the extracellular matrix, modified with methacryloyl groups. This provides ColMA bioinks the property of crosslinking with a photoinitiator under exposure to UV light (Irgacure2959, 365nm) or visible light (LAP, 405nm).
Foldink's mColMA (Methacrylated Medical Collagen) represents a significant advancement in bioink technology, combining the well-regarded properties of GelMA bioink with the natural abundance and tissue mimicry of collagen. This unique formulation stands out due to its thermoresistance and thermoreversible gelation, facilitating easy handling and compatibility with diverse components. Enhanced with methacrylic groups, mColMA can be crosslinked using UV or visible light, depending on the choice of photoinitiators like Irgacure 2959 and LAP. This feature, along with its excellent rheological properties, printability, and cell viability, makes mColMA an ideal choice for creating bioprinted constructs that closely resemble native tissues in both function and form.
