Product Applications Read our Methacrylated Extracellular Matrices eBrochure Here PhotoGel ® Gelatin methacrylate can be used to form cross-linked hydrogels for tissue engineering[1] and 3D printing. The common forms of 3D printing using Lifeink® 300 include extrusion[2][3][4], inkjet[5] and photolithography[6]). PhotoGel ® has been used for endothelial cell morphogenesis,[7] cardiomyocytes,[8] epidermal tissue[9], injectable tissue constructs[10], bone differentiation[11], and cartilage regeneration[12]. Gelatin methacrylate has been explored in drug delivery applications in the form of microspheres[13] and hydrogels[14].

Product Description Advanced BioMatrix offers PhotoGel ® , a purified and lyophilized methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) for photocrosslinkable hydrogels. PhotoGel ® provides 3D tunable gels with the unique attributes to be prepared at various concentrations and crosslinked to provide various gel stiffness. The PhotoGel ® consists of purified methacrylated porcine gelatin (1 gram). The gelatin is type A 300 bloom. The individual product only contains the methacrylated gelatin. The kits come with the selected photoinitiator (separate, as a powder). Item Catalog Number Photoinitiator Included PhotoGel #5208 N/A PhotoGel with Irgacure #5215 Irgacure (365nm) PhotoGel with LAP #5272 LAP (405nm) PhotoGel with Ruthenium #5273 Ruthenium (400-450nm) PhotoGel ® is produced from methacrylated gelatin where the gelatin has been modified by reacting the free amines, primarily the ε-amines groups of the lysine residues as well as the a-amines groups on the N-termini. >75% of the total lysine residues of the gelatin molecule have been methacrylated. The photoinitiator consists of Irgacure 2959 to be formulated in methanol (methanol not included) which allows UV crosslinking of the collagen at 365 nm.
