Bioinks
Scope of Activity
​
At TRICEP, we have a team of skilled chemists and engineers engaged in developing and formulating a wide range of bioinks. These inks are comprised of materials that are compatible with living cells. They protect the cells during printing and ensure appropriate cellular development. The ability to print 3D structures wherein bioink compositions and different cell types are strategically distributed to effect tissue regeneration has been clearly demonstrated. These multifunctional biomaterial compositions are critical to success in 3D bioprinting.
Focus and Development
​
Our focus is on the development of bioinks that are translatable. We work closely with primary industries including Australian seaweed farmers to source the materials required for formulation of high quality bioinks.
​
We are developing customised bioinks and have established state-of-the-art facilities required for scale up. The quality control laboratory is equipped with all of the analytical tools needed to ensure high quality end products. Sterilisation protocols are in place and protocols for shelf life studies established. Packaging and delivery protocols are in place to ensure that the high quality product that leaves TRICEP reaches your laboratory without degradation.

Note: These bioinks are temperature sensitive and transported under controlled environment.
Custom Synthesis Opportunities at TRICEP
​
Whether you are starting at large-scale or moving on from our custom synthesis and smaller scale production, at TRICEP we have a range of facilities to manufacture and store high quality chemical products at scales up to 100 kg/month.
Benefits of working with TRICEP
​
With our flexible service offering, we can transfer our existing manufacturing and analytical methods to large-scale manufacturing or scale-up your existing manufacturing methodology. Our technical team considers all aspects of commercial production including appropriate treatment of waste streams produced from the process and all regulatory compliance. The entire process will be documented under a quality management requirements (QMS). As part of our integrated contract manufacturing development services, your project and technology will be transferred seamlessly to the chosen facility for mid-scale or large-scale manufacturing.
We regularly manufacture a range of complex chemical products.
