PhotoSericin®
Methacrylated Sericin
Catalog #5430, #5431, #5432
This PhotoSericin® is 1 gram of a lyophilized, sterile, methacrylated sericin. PhotoSericin® provides 3D hydrogels with the unique attributes to be prepared at various concentrations and photocrosslinked (requires a photoinitiator) to provide various gel stiffness.
Product Description
Advance biomatrix offers PhotoSericin®, a purified and lyophilized methacrylated sericin powder for photocrosslinkable hydrogels. PhotoSericin® is a highly versatile solution designed for researchers and scientists seeking advanced materials for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and regenerative medicine applications. PhotoSericin® provides 3D tunable gels with the unique attributes to be prepared at various concentrations and crosslinked to provide various gel stiffnesses.
PhotoSericin® is offered in convenient kits that include a selected photoinitiator, provided separately as a powder. This allows for customization and precise control over the crosslinking process.

Directions for Use
PhotoSericin with Ruthenium DFU
NOTE: For LAP photoinitiator, the basic recommendations will result in a ~0.03% final LAP concentration. For some applications, such as DLP printing, the final LAP concentration should be increased to ~0.25-0.5% to accelerate and improve crosslinking.
