Turku, Finland – 20/11/2024 – AM Technologies by Brinter, an innovator in bioprinter manufacturing, Puredyne, a pioneer in extrusion printhead technology, and BIO INX, a leader in advanced bioinks, are proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration aimed at achieving unparalleled standardization and reproducibility in extrusion-based bioprinting.
This partnership builds upon the existing collaboration between BIO INX and Puredyne to enhance extrusion bioprinting by combining BIO INX’s highly reproducible bioinks with Puredyne’s unique extrusion technology. Specializing in gelatin-based inks, BIO INX’s expertise stems from two decades of innovation in gelatin modification—dating back to the pioneering 2000 publication of gel-MA—the company has honed strict quality management systems (QMS) to produce high-quality, standardized bioinks. On top of that, it relies on a strong collaboration with Rousselot, one of the leading gelatin manufacturers resulting in reproducibility from the raw material level until the final ink.
Puredyne contributes its cutting-edge extrusion printhead technology, enabling effortless and consistent extrusion of bioinks across an unprecedented range of viscosities. These unique printheads have become essential for ensuring reliable bioprinting processes.
Completing the puzzle
To complete the puzzle, AM Technologies by Brinter brings advanced bioprinter manufacturing expertise, offering exceptional levels of control and standardization. AM Technologies by Brinter’s state-of-the-art solutions, including the bioprinter designed for use on the International Space Station, exemplify the high-performance systems needed to meet the collaboration’s ambitious goals.
“Reproducibility is the cornerstone of advancing bioprinting technologies. At Puredyne, we are proud to bring our innovative extrusion printhead technology to this partnership, ensuring bioinks can be processed reliably across a spectrum of viscosities. Working with BIO INX and AM Technologies by Brinter elevates our mission to set new benchmarks for bioprinting.” -Felix Gruber, Puredyne
The culmination of this shared vision is the integration of Puredyne’s heated printhead module into AM Technologies by Brinter’s Brinter One and Brinter Core bioprinting systems, setting a new standard for extrusion bioprinting technology.
“At BIO INX, we have the mission to bring biofabrication to the clinic, and in our opinion, the only way to get there is through smart collaborations between complementary companies. Together with Puredyne and AM Technologies by Brinter, we are addressing the critical need for standardization and reproducibility in bioprinting, paving the way for broader adoption in clinical and research settings.” -Jasper Van Hoorick, CEO at BIO INX
