While many patients in need of transplants suffer from a shortage in donors for replacing damaged tissues or organs. 3D Bio-printing is a promising approach for producing tissues and organs in the lab using bio-inks. Additionally, Bio-printed organs in a dish platform can be used for testing drugs’ toxicity and efficacy in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry.

We offer "Okagel" a GelMA bio-ink that is affordable, in customized forms (liquid/solid), overnight processed (1-2 days), sterilized, pure, and hazard-free to be used in 3D bioprinters.

Our vision is a universal accessible bioprinting technology for a better quality of life.
