Description
ALMA is a photosensitive biomaterial, it is used in combination with blue or ultraviolet light initiators to crosslink and cure under the action of blue light or ultraviolet light, the higher the concentration of ALMA, the greater the hardness after curing, it has good biocompatibility and can be mixed with cells for bio 3D printing.
Feature
ALMA has low cost, biostable, fast ion crosslinking ability, and suitable mechanical properties, but slow degradation, low cell adhesion, and need to be mixed with other biological materials.
Quality control test
Each batch of ALMA was confirmed by H NMR, HPLC and cytology, and its chemical structure, MA grafting rate was 20-30%, no cytotoxicity; ALMA formulated hydrogel, after adding blue initiator LAP, It can be cured quickly under the action of blue light.
