Cellink保留具有新的Cellcyte X显微镜平台的3D生物打印细胞的完整性

Swedish 3D bioprinter and materials developerCELLINKhas entered the microscopy sector. Addressing one of the most vital peripheral activities to studying cell cultures, the company has launched the CELLCYTE X – a new platform that allows researchers to monitor the growth and proliferation of 3D bioprinted cells in their proper environment.

The new compact CELLCYTE X hardware is designed to be user friendly, and more cost effective for small laboratories than traditional industrial equipment.

Cellink 3D生物打印

CELLINK is the developer and provider of 3D bioprinters, theBIO X它的前身是可墨的。此外,该公司销售广泛的3D可打印生物互联,适用于其自己的系统和第三方生物生产商。

这些墨水中的许多墨水都可以或可以做好准备,其中包含3D印刷为复杂支架的活细胞。在3D生物打印介质之前和之后,必须将样品支架保持在保持其活细胞生存的温度和湿度上。

Cellink首席执行官Erik Gatenholm解释说:“当我们在今天的生物打印实验之前生长细胞时,我们将它们放在孵化器中。

Further, “To determine if the cells are doing well, one must constantly look at them under the microscope.” Typically, this would mean that the cells are removed from the incubator and placed under a microscope. The CELLCYTE X platform have been developed to ensure that cells are never removed from incubation during experimentation, and the ideal microenvironment for the cultures is never compromised.

Scanning cells at 3 fps

Cellcyte X最多可容纳六个含有多达96个单独样品井的样品板。放置在系统内,可以在不到5分钟的时间内扫描一个板,并以每秒三帧(FPS)的形式跟踪细胞形态。

该系统包括5百万像素摄像头(显微镜相机的平均值),并允许放大倍数20倍。Cellcyte X内部的一部分技术现在正在申请专利,并且在将来的Cellink计划升级该平台的功能以实现远程单元成像。

该公司表示,“启动Cellcyte X平台是朝着Cellink迈进的目标,即增强生物医学研究并改变医学的未来。”

Millions fuel CELLINK’s development

In recent months, CELLINK has been the subject of a number of highly lucrative deals within the 3D bioprinting sphere. In December 2018 the company entered into a $1.2 million partnership with San Francisco biotechnology companyPrellis Biologics。Together, Prellis and CELLINK are working to commercialize theHolograph-X Bioprinter

More recently, in January 2019, CELLINK and theAcademic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam(acta)成为超过的联合接受者$1 million USD in funding来自European Union开发生物界。
