3DBS offers fibers and electrospinning services for the production of nanoscale and microscale fibers.
Electrospinning technology produces fibrous matrices from natural and/or synthetic polymers. A voltage difference between a polymer solution and a grounded collector produces fibers with diameters between 200 nm and 5 µm (customizable parameters).
Electrospinning provides a simple and cost-effective means to produce fibrous matrices with an interconnected pore structure and fiber diameters in the submicron range.
Due to its application as scaffolds, where the cell support is similar to the extracellular matrix, this technique has received attention in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, enabling 3D cell culture.
