Bioprinted hydrogel structures provide a practical strategy for replicating environmental cues in cellular
in vitro studies. Despite advances in bioprinting technologies and biomaterial development, creating truly
biomimetic models can still be challenging. The mechanical properties of bioprinted constructs play a
key role in effectively recapitulating native environments, as they affect cell behaviour and overall tissue
function.
Commercial hydrogel bioprinters
In this application note, we highlight how commercially available bioprinters, like the BIO X6 from CELLINK,
can be combined with Pavone, Optics11 Life’s high-throughput nanoindenter, to successfully develop
physiologically relevant constructs, and provide a workflow for capturing critical information around the
mechanical properties, to further streamline hydrogel testing and model optimization.
