CELLINK, a BICO Company and the global leader in providing 3D bioprinters and biomaterials, announced today the opening of their Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facility to provide world class bioinks for pharmaceutical, medical researchers and manufacturers that want to comply with FDA and EU quality and safety regulations, an essential step for clinical applications. This marks an important milestone on the journey to reducing the impact of organ shortages.

With the opening of this lab, CELLINK will be able to better serve their customers as the premier provider of biomaterials and serve as a partner to them as they continue to push the boundaries of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

“It gives me great pride to officially open our new lab. For the last 5 years we have worked on tailoring materials for a diverse range of applications, with the highest emphasis on quality. With the opening of this lab, we can continue this journey and provide our customers with the materials they need along with the appropriate certifications to support their progress” says Itedale Namro Redwan, CSO, CELLINK.
