PhotoGel Thermal Gelation
12/16/24
Advanced BioMatrix aims to provide customers and researchers with as much data and information as possible on our products.
We have generated two studies focused on thermal gelation kinetics of our PhotoGel® methacrylated gelatin products.
The first study evaluated thermal gelation rates and shear storage modulus for two PhotoGel® methacrylated gelatin (50% and 95% degree of methacrylation) products at various concentrations (5-20%). Tunability of 3D hydrogels is key for optimizing cellular environments, improving 3D bioprinting resolution, and replicating in vivo tissue models.
Photocrosslinking studies for the two products can be found here (50% methacrylation) and here (95% methacrylation).

The second study evaluated the viscosity of PhotoGel®-50 (50% degree of methacrylation) at different concentrations (5-20%) while undergoing sol-gel and gel-sol transitions using temperature ramps down and up.
The viscosity of GelMA at various temperatures, and there rate of change of the viscosity, helps us better understand processing windows for bioprinting and handling.
