Crosslinking process of bioink

Not applicable. CELLINK Start is a non-crosslinkable, sacrificial material – perfect for getting started with 3D bioprinting. You can print all your complex structures with CELLINK Start and ensure that they look the way they should prior to printing with human cells. It’s the perfect start for all your bioprinting experiments.
