High-throughput fabrication of microgels. (A) The experimental setup, which involves a coaxial nozzle that was attached to an air pump for air flow and a syringe pump for hydrogel flow, where a collector bath was maintained below the coaxial nozzle (scale bar with respect to the coaxial nozzle). (B) The schematic diagram of microgel production from Alg, GelMA and Alg–GelMA hydrogels using the ACAD device. Microgels were collected, washed, and centrifuged for multiple applications including cell encapsulation, bioprinting via direct extrusion of cell encapsulated microgels or support bath for embedded bioprinting, and scaffolding.
