Integrate, Customize and Make Accessible: 3D Bioprinting is Medicine’s Next Frontier
The growing push for 3-D tissue models is limited by challenges in automated handling, processing, and scalability of the technology to various types of materials and high-throughput applications. To meet these challenges, 4D bioprinting and human-cell derived ECM bioinks can allow researchers to biologically mimic the formation of complex, heterogeneous 3-D structures and to scale the technology to high-throughput and clinically translatable applications. This webinar will discuss the latest megatrends behind bioprinting developments as well as scientific and medical applications developed for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, preclinical screening and testing, veterinary medicine, as well as personalized drug and food development. Some key topics to be discussed include:
Key advantages of 3D bioprinting over other techniques
Alterations in cellular physiology of cells in 3D vs. 2D
Megatrends behind bioprinting’s importance in biomedicine
Introduction of biomedical applications of bioprinting across various disciplines

Who is this webinar for: Bio and life science researchers
About:
AFM has long been a critical metrology tool for measuring nanometer resolution topographic roughness and nanostructure. However commercially available AFMs limited the sample size and shape to either small sample, or wafer/waferlike geometries. In other words, flat samples. If your samples didn’t fit into those size/shape constraints, your options were to either destroy your part or measure discrete regions which may or may not be applicable to your needs. Today, however, Nanosurf takes AFM out of the flat sample world and into 3 dimensions. With the option of multiple scanner designs and knowledge to build 3, 4, 5 or more axis staging, working with real parts is now a reality. This brings AFM into metrology for complex optics, machined parts, gratings and more. Come learn how AFM can improve your metrology without destroying your parts..
Drew has been working in the AFM and nanomechanical instrumentation space for the last 14 years. Prior to joining Nanosurf, he worked as a Sales Manager and Applications Scientist for AFM manufacturers Bruker and Oxford Instruments (Asylum Research). Prior to this he was the North America Customer Service and Applications Manager for CSM Instruments nanoindentation (now Anton Paar). His work has spanned the breadth of applications; from life science, to biomaterials, to semiconductor, to manufacturing and beyond.

During this webinar, hosted by Oils & Fats International, we will discuss how both time domain NMR (TD-NMR) and benchtop NMR spectroscopy are used to measure oils and fats throughout the food chain; from harvest through to manufacturing of ingredients and the food products themselves. For example, fat content is an important parameter for quality assurance and control of snacks, confectionery and food ingredients. Other TD-NMR measurables include the melting profile of edible oils/fats and droplet size in food emulsions such as dairy and non-dairy spreads.
Benchtop NMR spectroscopy can quantify the proportion of saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids in a variety of foods. Furthermore, spectra can be used to distinguish and authenticate different vegetable oils and meats as well as test for robusta in Arabica coffee.
Please note: if you are unable to join us, the session will be recorded and communicated with registered guests only. Please register to receive this communication.

How to Harness the Advantages of 3D Printing of Ceramics for Dental Applications
3D printing of ceramics enables a design freedom that is not achievable using tradition methods in the dental industry.
We will discuss how we can achieve with our Ceramics 3D printers tight tolerances while maintaining high strength and hardness that are
comparable to tradition manufacturing technologies.
Case studies will highlight some of the success stories that we have achieved for dental applications.

Surface wettability and adhesion are vital phenomena in a variety of industries ranging from coatings industry to pharmaceutical and biomaterial industry. A simple and efficient contact angle measurement is often used for characterizing the water repellency and other properties such as how successful a surface treatment has been. In this webinar, we will go through the background and significance of different contact angles: where do they originate from, why are they important and how they can be measured in practice. We will give examples of situations where different kind of contact angle measurements are effective in characterizing the water repellency of a surface.
The cancer world isn’t flat: why cancer researchers adopt 3-D bioprinting
The growing push for 3-D tissue models is limited by challenges in automated handling, processing and scalability of the technology to various types of materials and high-throughput applications. To meet these challenges, ROKIT Healthcare has developed all-in-one bioprinting platforms and human-cell derived ECM bioinks that allow researchers to biologically mimic the formation of complex, heterogeneous 3-D structures and to scale the technology to high-throughput applications. This webinar will focus on the platform’s usage in cancer biology. It will discuss evidence for 3-D bioprinting capturing altered proliferation and cell morphology profiles, revealing more realistic drug responses, and mimicking vascularized tumor microenvironments – to suggest why bioprinting of cancer cells is a scientifically rigorous method to generate physiologically relevant cancer models for preclinical screening and testing, as well as for new therapy research. You will learn about:
– Key advantages of 3D bioprinting over other techniques
– Five alterations in cellular physiology of cancer cells in 3D vs. 2D
– Evaluation of how 3D bioprinted tissues have altered proliferation and cell morphology
– Evaluation of how 3D bioprinted tissues reveal more realistic drug responses
– Evaluation of how 3D bioprinted tissues mimic complex tumor-immune microenvironments
– Built-in cell incubator, diverse material use, and high-throughput capabilities of ROKIT Healthcare’s all-in-one bioprinting platform Dr. INVIVO 4D6
