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.
