CleanCure™ CM6X

CleanCure™ CM6X

Hybrid module • Mid-to-high stiffness profile • Predictable modulus plateau

CleanCure™ CM6X is a coumarin-based hybrid module designed for engineering hydrogels with a mid-to-high mechanical profile when combined with the active core component, CleanCure™ CM3X. Under tested conditions, CM6X enables a pronounced increase in mechanical modulus during light exposure while maintaining a more balanced performance compared to the VBX variant — without requiring photoinitiators.

In practical applications, CM6X is well suited for scenarios requiring predictable mechanical behavior and construct stability without reaching maximum stiffness. It is an optimal choice for formulations where a careful balance is needed between geometric stability and biologically favorable conditions for sensitive cellular models.

Description

Key Features:

  • Mid-to-high stiffness profile (positioned between soft variants and VBX-reinforced systems)
  • Stable mechanical plateau achieved during extended light exposure
  • Balanced performance: construct stability without excessive brittleness (in hybrid systems with CM3X)

Applications (Best for):

  • Soft tissue models requiring moderate structural stability, such as liver and kidney tissue analogs (ECM-mimicking environments)
  • Complex 3D constructs with fine features and microchannels where reproducibility and dimensional stability are critical
