3DBioFibR’s patented and fully automated dry-spinning technology enables production of CollaFibR™: collagen fibers that closely recapitulate the biomechanical and biochemical properties of natural collagen fibers.

CollaFibR™ is made using GMP bovine skin collagen. The collagen is combined with a scaffolding polymer in 20 mM acetic acid, from which the fibers are spun. The spinning process drives the alignment of the collagen within the fiber, driving self- assembly.

Once these fibers are subsequently hydrated in aqueous environments, the scaffolding polymer is fully removed resulting in a pure collagen fiber scaffold.

Tailoring porosity, fiber alignment, and density, 3DBioFibR has the ability to create customizable scaffolds for diverse end-user applications!

CollaFibR™ scaffolds offer a well-defined composition, are easy to use, and can be stored at room temperature. Just like transwell, except with collagen fibers! CollaFibR™ also offers superior epifluorescence imaging, minimizing background interference for precise analytical capabilities.
