Electrically conductive TissueFab® bioink Conductive Vis/405 nm, low endotoxin, is a bioink for 3D bioprinting applications. It aims to provide the best possible cell microenvironment for neural, muscular, and cardiac cells so they can transmit electrical impulses, improving cell communication and network creation.
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel system serves as its foundation. The mechanical characteristics of GelMA hydrogels are improved by using carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which also provide conductivity.
