3.4.2 Configuring the UV Operations Parameters
From the Setup tab of the Brinter
®
software, you can find a button for the optional UV operations.
From there, you can start the disinfection process (with 265 nm UV light), which should be used
before beginning the bioprinting. The UV light can kill or damage any living organisms inside the print
chamber, so remove or cover all cell-containing bioinks or prints before initializing the disinfection
cycle. From the same menu, a manual post-curing operation (365 nm or 405 nm) can be started.
1. UV operations – Click to configure settings for the UV disinfection cycle or manual post-curing
(LED module available for extra purchase).
2. Disinfection – Select the surface to be disinfected: Petri dish, entire print bed, or well plate.
3. Wavelength – Select the wavelength for the post-curing.
4. Intensity – Adjust the photocuring intensity (0–100%).
