The CELLINK Temperature-controlled Printhead is an extrusion-based printhead. With the
aid of a cooling fan, this printhead can keep your bioink at a temperature up to 17ºC below
the chamber temperature. It employs compressed air to extrude bioinks. The Temperature-
controlled Printhead is designed to fit 3 mL cartridges only and is recommended for
bioprinting thermo-sensitive bioinks such as those based on collagen or gelatin, for example.
The current temperature of the printhead is indicated in several ways, including a
color indication on the printhead (red is hot, yellow is warm, and blue is cold) and
an indication of the temperature on the printer display.
