Jetbio: Groundbreaking 3D Bioprinting for Improving Global Health
Jetbio has been established to commercialise Newcastle University’s patented reactive jet impingement (ReJI) bioprinting technology. The Jetbio ReJI technique jets two gel precursors at one another. They mix in mid-air and then land on a substrate as a gel. Because the two precursors are still liquid as they are bio-printed, lower pressures are used in the process which increases the viability to carry cells. Jetbio 3D bioprinting integrated systems with microvalve and inkjet heads, user-friendly software and bio-ink materials that together deliver printed models very rapidly , accurately and almost on any substrate.
