Methacrylated Collagen Type I(Col-1 MA), 30-50%

COL1MA-13

Product Description

  1. This product is a photosensitive biomaterial derived from collagen type I, retaining the excellent biocompatibility and cell adhesion properties of its parent material.
  2. In the presence of suitable photoinitiators, the material can undergo rapid photo-crosslinking under blue light or ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, forming stable hydrogel structures.
  3. The degree of grafting of this product ranges from 30% to 50%, ensuring reliable photo-crosslinking performance.
  4. The mechanical properties of the hydrogel can be tuned by adjusting the concentration of the material, with higher concentrations typically resulting in a higher elastic modulus after curing.
  5. The material supports cell encapsulation and is suitable for 3D bioprinting applications, enabling the fabrication of cell-laden hydrogel constructs.
  6. This product is compatible with other photosensitive biomaterials, such as HAMA (hyaluronic acid methacrylate) and CSMA (chitosan methacrylate), allowing the preparation of composite bioinks with tailored properties.

Technical Specifications

Concentration
  1. The recommended concentration of this product is < 10mg/mL. Stir overnight in 20 mM acetic acid at 4 centigrade. 2. It is recommended to self-assemble into gel first, and then light curing. Thus can increase mechanical strength. 3. When using this solution, avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
