Methacrylated Collagen Type I(Col-1 MA), 30-50%
COL1MA-13
Product Description
- This product is a photosensitive biomaterial derived from collagen type I, retaining the excellent biocompatibility and cell adhesion properties of its parent material.
- In the presence of suitable photoinitiators, the material can undergo rapid photo-crosslinking under blue light or ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, forming stable hydrogel structures.
- The degree of grafting of this product ranges from 30% to 50%, ensuring reliable photo-crosslinking performance.
- The mechanical properties of the hydrogel can be tuned by adjusting the concentration of the material, with higher concentrations typically resulting in a higher elastic modulus after curing.
- The material supports cell encapsulation and is suitable for 3D bioprinting applications, enabling the fabrication of cell-laden hydrogel constructs.
- This product is compatible with other photosensitive biomaterials, such as HAMA (hyaluronic acid methacrylate) and CSMA (chitosan methacrylate), allowing the preparation of composite bioinks with tailored properties.
Technical Specifications
Concentration
- The recommended concentration of this product is < 10mg/mL. Stir overnight in 20 mM acetic acid at 4 centigrade. 2. It is recommended to self-assemble into gel first, and then light curing. Thus can increase mechanical strength. 3. When using this solution, avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
