Explore the Biomaterials Ecosystem

Suppliers & Services

Medical Polymer Suppliers

Develop resorbable polymer grades and support device and drug-delivery development.

Hydrogels, Bioinks & Matrices

Formulate materials used in cell culture and printed tissue models.

Material & Biological Testing

Test materials and devices to support an evaluation of biological risks.

Research Buying Services

Organizations to Explore

Corbion

Supplies resorbable polymers for devices and drug delivery.

CELLINK

Supplies bioinks for research.

Scientist.com

Offers a channel to research service suppliers.

NAMSA

NAMSA tests biomaterials and medical devices for biological effects. Its services include chemical analysis, cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization and other studies selected for the material and its use. It lists testing labs in the United States and Europe. A service listing does not prove that a material or finished device is safe or approved.

Nelson Labs

Nelson Labs provides laboratory tests and advice for medical devices and related products. Its Salt Lake City headquarters lists biocompatibility, toxicology, extractables and leachables, material performance and sterility testing. It is part of Sotera Health. The required test and the chosen lab need a separate check; a group service list does not establish each lab’s approved scope.

Eurofins Medical Device Services

Eurofins Medical Device Services tests device materials and finished devices through a network in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. It lists biological testing, chemical analysis, extractables and leachables, and reviews of changes to materials or manufacturing. This entry describes Eurofins services, not blanket approval of a device or every laboratory’s scope.
