Description

Kraken Collagen Hydrogel 18 mg/mL is a Type I, pH-neutral, injectable atelocollagen hydrogel designed for 3D cell culture and optimised for extrusion-based applications. Kraken Collagen Hydrogel is purified from bovine pericardium and provides a biomimetic environment that supports fundamental cellular behaviours such as adhesion, proliferation, and migration, and allows direct encapsulation of cells without the need for a pre-neutralisation step.

Kraken Collagen Hydrogel offers high resolution 3D tissue constructs through natural fibrillogenesis, making it suitable for a wide range of 3D biosystems applications in biomedical research, tissue engineering and Regenerative Medicine applications.

Ways to Use

Ideal for use in 3D bioprinting, 3D cell culture, organoid systems, tissue regeneration and other collagen-based research applications.

True Biology

Cells thrive on foundations they recognise. Linear fibril alignment improves cell migration and attachment.​

Longer-term experiments and maturation

Intact and functional constructs over longer-term experiments.

Physiologically-relevant outcomes

Permeability supports oxygen, nutrient delivery, and waste diffusion for higher cell viability and better cell function.​

Streamlined experimental workflows

Designed for ease of use and faster onboarding.​
Kraken border

I am very encouraged with what I saw, Kraken Collagen did something none other was able to do.

Independent Assessor

We are seeing excellent results printing the Kraken ink. In our experience, neutralized inks have challenges with bulk cohesion and attachment between print lines.

Independent Assessor

Kraken has produced very high resolution print with excellent cohesion. Kraken prints are handleable without post-processing and without stabilization via cross linking.
