Fluicell位于瑞典的一家生物打印公司已推出了新的高精度3D打印机Biopixlar AER。
该设备旨在作为原始Biopixlar的继任者，是Fluicell的第二个单细胞3D生物打印系统。该公司设计其最新机器以尽可能紧凑和可访问，并声称这是世界上第一个适合标准流动罩或生物安全柜中的微流体生物器。这使用户可以轻松地将其与其他体外和3D细胞培养技术集成。
Victoire Viannay, CEO of Fluicell, said, “With Biopixlar AER, we have reached a new important milestone and we can now offer a pioneering product, fully tailored to meet current and future needs in the rapidly accelerating life science and research sector.”
Single-cell bioprinting with Fluicell
Fulicell成立于2012年，是从Chalmers University of Technology在瑞典。这家生物技术公司专门从事高分辨率生物打印和单细胞生物学，为生命科学领域提供微流体技术。Fluicell拥有令人印象深刻的IP投资组合，其中有五个不同的专利系列。
这company’s debut single-cell bioprinter was theBiopixlar, a comprehensive discovery platform used for building novel tissue models for drug development, as well as disease and regenerative medicine research. It’s capable of printing multiple different cell types in one run using a micromanipulator arm, a motorized stage, and a unique handheld gamepad interface.
该公司的其余产品组合包括用于药理学研究的设备。这包括BioPen，一种用于靶向单个细胞体外细胞的单细胞实验室，并DynaFlow解决, an ion channel screening platform.

这Biopixlar AER features the same open-volume microfluidics technology found in the company’s original bioprinter, giving users full control over the placement of individual cells. Deposition rates range from single cells to thousands of cells, enabling the printing of everything from single-cell arrays to complex multi-cell tissues.
该系统配有由医学级弹性体制造的可兑换单使用打印头。他们有能力一次持有多达三种不同的细胞类型。因此，Biopixlar AER不需要任何生物界即可真正打印细胞，从而创建一个友好的环境，以确保多达95％的细胞活力。
Biopixlar AER Sports Apport构想了精简的工作流程集成，一种用户友好的接口，使用户可以控制打印过程的各个方面。这包括打印位置和压力，以及内置的显微镜和相机。看到机器也可以远程控制，预计将在诸如微重力和深海研究等苛刻条件下的医学研究和药物开发的局限性。
这Karolinska Institutetin Sweden has alreadytested the performance and user experience of the Biopixlar AERas part of the development process.
奥斯卡·荣霍尔姆（Oscar Jungholm）, from the Karolinska Institutet’s department of physiology and pharmacology, said, “This novel platform enables a broad spectrum of new experimental approaches, such as studies of molecular uptake into cells, advanced electrophysiological recordings via calcium imaging, and studies of cell communication and signaling. Indeed, the Biopixlar AER is also well adapted for precise or local administration of drugs to cells, enabling advanced pharmacological studies.”
