Devices and Equipment for Research

Our laboratories have state-of-the-art equipment for molecular and cell biological analysis of cellular processes.

Research cooperation and contract work

We are happy to collaborate with other scientific institutions as well as to support private sector companies with our expertise and instrumentation to address cell biological issues, as far as our teaching and research mission allows.

  • Bioprinter 3D Discovery Evolution (RegenHU)

    Bioprinter 3D Discovery Evolution with Biosafety Cabinet, 6 printheads

    Features

    2 direct dispenser printheads, Cell friendly printhead, 2-component printhead, Melt electrospinning/writing (Light curing kit (e.g. photo-crosslinking): UV 365 nm, 360 mW, Cartridge coolers: for direct dispensers and cell-friendly head (temperature 5-37°C), Thermobase platform cooler (temperature 5-37°C), 2 cooling units to adjust 2 different temperatured (temperature 5-37°C)

    Application area

    The Bioprinter is designed for printing cellular constructs. Different printing options allow the printing of cell-laden biomaterials at physiological temperature. But also other polymers can be printed with different printing options.
