Tintbionic® GELMA-G

TintBionic® GELMA-G is a gelatin-based methacrylate material (glycidyl methacrylate–modified) developed as an alternative base for photocurable hydrogels used in 3D bioprinting. It preserves the protein-based, gelatin character of the material while providing additional flexibility in tailoring the post-curing network architecture.

The availability of multiple variants with differentiated performance parameters enables precise material selection based on process requirements and target applications. This is particularly valuable for engineering hydrogel microarchitecture in the context of mass transport and diffusion control. Crosslinking occurs under UV/Vis exposure in the presence of a photoinitiator (e.g., LAP), while final material properties are determined by formulation composition and curing conditions.
