Cat.-Nr.: 5428-100MG
Description
PhotoChitosan® is a purified and lyophilized methacrylated chitosan powder for photocrosslinkable hydrogels. PhotoChitosan® is a highly versatile solution designed for researchers and scientists seeking advanced materials for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and regenerative medicine applications. PhotoChitosan® provides 3D tunable gels with the unique attributes to be prepared at various concentrations and crosslinked to provide various gel stiffnesses.
PhotoChitosan® 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.
| Item | Catalog Number | Photoinitiator Included |
| PhotoChitosan® | 5428-100mg | N/A |
| PhotoChitosan® with LAP | 5441-1KIT | LAP (405nm) |
