Description:
Agarose is a polysaccharide derived from red algae and its main component is hydrophilic polygalactose, which has good biocompatibility. Generally agarose forms a good semi-solid-like gel at 35 - 40°C in water, which is the basis for its use as a bio-ink material. The gel formation is due to the double helix of molecular chains forming a water fixation network. The special gelling properties and good biocompatibility of agarose are very suitable for cell attachment and production.
