What bioinks are compatible with the AutoAbode Bio Maker?

Bio Maker supports a wide range of bioinks including alginate, GelMA (gelatin methacryloyl), fibrin, collagen, chitosan, PEGDA, HA, PCL, PLGA, and custom cell-laden hydrogel formulations. The open ink system handles viscosities from 1 to 100,000 mPa·s.

What cell viability does the Bio Maker achieve?

The Bio Maker X2 and X4 achieve greater than 93–95% post-print cell viability, validated across GelMA, collagen, alginate, and fibrin bioink systems using low-shear nozzle geometry and temperature-controlled reservoir management.

What is 4D bioprinting and does Bio Maker support it?

4D bioprinting adds the dimension of time — printing constructs from stimuli-responsive hydrogels that change shape in response to pH, temperature, or moisture after printing. Bio Maker X2 and X4 support 4D printing with compatible shape-memory bioinks.

Is the Bio Maker suitable for pharmaceutical drug discovery research?

Yes. Bio Maker is used to create 3D tissue models including tumour spheroids, liver-on-chip constructs, gut epithelium models, and cardiac organoids for drug candidate screening, hepatotoxicity assays, and ADME studies.

Which model is suited for academic research labs in India?

The Bio Maker X1 is ideal for academic research labs, engineering colleges, and early-stage tissue research. The X2 suits advanced research and MedTech companies. The X4 is designed for ICMR / DBT funded labs and pharmaceutical R&D departments.
