Magnetic mixer improves 3D bioprinting

SMRTR summary

MIT researchers developed MagMix, a magnetic mixing device that solves a major problem in 3D bioprinting where cells sink to the bottom of bio-ink during long printing sessions, causing clogs and uneven tissue quality. The compact system uses a magnetic propeller inside printer syringes controlled by an external motor, maintaining uniform cell distribution for over 45 minutes of continuous printing while preserving cell viability.
