Invivo -Gel
First, INVIVO GEL provides a degree of freedom to tune the elastic modulus (or stiffness) according to user’s specific needs by changing concentration of INVIVO GEL (GELMA) and Gel-linker (A), a photo initiator. Also, by changing UV light (365㎚) exposure time, degree of cross-linking can be adjusted. Second, special INVIVO GEL formulation mimics extracellular environment and excellent growth factor (VEGF A, TGF-β1, BMP-2, or GF of your choice) retention capability allows precise control of the extracelluar environment to the specific needs of your research.

The INVIVO-GEL kit is specifically developed and optimized for bioprinting of 3D structures. The INVIVO-GEL Essential kit includes optimally formulated gelatin-based hydrogel complex contained in syringes for easy dispensing. The kit also includes Gel-linker(A) (photoinitiator), which reinforces mechanical stability and Gel-linker (B) (Growth factor) which helps to induce cells to adjust proliferation or differentiate into a specific phenotype . A transparent hydrogel forms when contents are properly mixed and exposed to UV light.
