Technology & Products

Key Products

Fibercoll-Flex® bioinks (Fibercoll-Flex-A®, Fibercoll-Flex-N®); Collagen Cell Carrier®; Bovine Soluble Collagen; Collagen Bio Tubes; Viscolma® Collagen Suspension; Collagen Gel™

Technological Advantage

Proprietary collagen extraction and processing technologies (standardized per ASTM F2212-02) ensure batch-to-batch purity and biocompatibility; industrial-scale production capabilities for both research and medical grade materials.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Provides ultrapure, biocompatible collagen bioinks that reduce development time for tissue models by enabling easy, reliable 3D printing with high cell viability and mechanical strength, accelerating bench-to-bedside transfer in regenerative medicine.

How They Differentiate

Fibercoll-Flex® bioinks offer 3D printing with pure fibrillary collagen (no additives) vs. competitors' cross-linked or composite materials; enables high cell viability (>90% in studies) and shape fidelity for complex scaffolds, supported by industrial manufacturing scale.
