PhotoCol® Methacrylated Type I Collagen

Irgacure 2959 is a highly efficient non-yellowing radical photoinitiator for the UV curing of systems, such as hydrogels and bioinks. Irgacure is most efficiently activated using 365nm wavelength UV light. Irgacure must be solubilized in methanol, as it is not water soluble (such as LAP and Ruthenium).

The cornerstone of live cell bioprinting, GelMA provides a biodegradable base material with tremendous cell attachment capabilities and mechanical properties that accurately capture physiological conditions. Provided as a stock solution, researchers have the freedom to make the most of this wonder biomaterial’s tunability. Blend with proteins, growth factors or other photosensitive polymers like PEGDA, to create the ideal recipe for your research application.
