Studies and publications

  • Type
    Independent round-robin study
    Date:
    2023

    Reproducibility of extrusion bioprinting across 12 labs

    Source: Biofabrication 16, 015002; PubMed 37769669

    Twelve German academic labs printed with centrally supplied materials and a shared protocol. The authors could not show equivalence of the printed products between sites and attributed the spread to operators and differences in equipment, calling for more process control and automation. byte 1 was not part of this study; it documents the problem byte 1 is designed for.

    Optical assessment and modelling of extrusion bioprinting with a byte 1 prototype

    Source: PubMed Central, PMC11183084

    RevoBITs co-authored a peer-reviewed paper that assesses extrusion bioprinting optically and builds a model of the process, using a byte 1 prototype as the printing platform. It is the primary published description of the byte 1 approach to measuring what happens during a print.

    Conference programme entry

    Research using byte 1 inline rheological modules

    Source: Indico conference system (conference4me)

    A conference contribution reports research that uses the inline rheological modules of byte 1 to follow material behaviour during printing. It shows the inline measurement being applied in an academic setting outside RevoBITs.
