Characteristics of the Quantum X bio
One notable model in their lineup is the Quantum X bio, designed specifically for bioprinting applications. It provides a sterile printing environment through filtered airflow and sterile consumables, ensuring optimal conditions for biofabrication. With exceptional precision and design freedom, the printer excels in rapid prototyping, offering a maximum print area of 50 x 50 mm² and enabling fast design iteration cycles. Moreover, it impresses with its compatibility with a wide range of biomaterials, bioinks, and biocompatible photoresists. To enhance user experience and workflow efficiency, the Quantum X bio is compatible with DeScribeX software, enabling the loading of STL files into a common 3D CAD format, and nanoConnectX, providing users with remote control capabilities. This versatility makes the Quantum X bio an ideal choice for a broad range of biomedical applications, including cell scaffolds, skin/tissue models, microneedle arrays, microfluidic devices, and more.
