German manufacturer Xolo has introduced the Xell bioprinter, a new, cost-effective solution for volumetric bioprinting. With an entry-level price of 20,000 euros and an exclusive discount of 50 percent for academic institutions, Xell offers access to a modern technology that was previously associated with high acquisition costs. The aim is to provide research institutions with an efficient way to produce complex biomedical structures.
The Xell printer is based on so-called Xolography technology and enables the production of isotropic, i.e. uniformly shaped structures without visible layers. Thanks to a full HD resolution and a powerful LED light sheet, fine, smooth surface structures can be printed with a high level of detail. The build chamber of the Xell is optimized for standardized disposable cuvettes and offers a print volume of 10 x 17 x 10 mm. This compact size is particularly suitable for the use of high value bio-inks, for example for printing tissue scaffolds or customized hydrogels.
Another advantage of the Xell is its user-friendliness. The printer is ready for immediate use with Xolo’s Bio-Inks and has an intuitive user interface that makes it easy to get started with the application. As the Xell is designed as an open platform, users can also develop and use their own materials. For research teams that require larger print volumes and more flexibility, Xolo also offers the Xube² printer. This has a modular design that allows different resolutions and material options to be used, as well as the ability to switch between 375 nm and 405 nm light sources.
Interested parties can experience the Xell and Xube² live at Formnext in Frankfurt from November 19 to 22, 2024 at booth D31 in hall 11.1.
