Dispensing of very low volumes of ultra high viscosity alginate gels a new tool for encapsulation of adherent cells and rapid prototyping of scaffolds and implants

Dispensing of very low volumes of ultra high viscosity alginate gels : a new tool for encapsulation of adherent cells and rapid prototyping of scaffolds and implants

We present a tool for dispensing very low volumes (20 nL or more) of ultra high viscosity (UHV) medical-grade alginate hydrogels. It uses a modified piezo-driven micrometering valve, integrated into a versatile system that allows fast prototyping of encapsulation procedures and scaffold production....
