DEGRAD INX^© X100

CURASOL^© addresses some of the processing limitations related to traditional photo-crosslinkable polymers by offering an excellent printing fidelity by printing from the molten state along with an efficient crosslinking. Thanks to the CURASOL^© technology, UV-induced crosslinking of inks in the solid state occurs 5 times faster compared to the inks in the molten state, thereby offering reduced irradiation times. The printed scaffolds offer stable or biodegradable platforms for cell seeding that can be implemented for harder tissues (e.g. cartilage).

A comprehensive overview of all bioinks with helpful application information can be found in our current flyer 3D Bioprinting by Carl ROTH and on our Bioprinting content page.

DEGRAD INX^© X100 is a polyester-based synthetic resin for multiphoton lithography based 3D-printing applications. It is the first ever biodegradable ink that combines the benefits of biocompatibility, flexibility and easy processability resulting in high feature resolutions (<500 nm).

DEGRAD INX^© X100 ready-to-use formulations can be processed via a multiphoton lithography based printer after a short pre-heating process. The resin can be processed at high scanning speeds (up to 100 mm/s) which is favorable for shorter fabrication times.
