Why matrihealth?
Our products
Elastin for R&D
Soluble and non-soluble elastin for biomaterial development, basic research and tissue engineering.
Elastin for nutrition
With a high content of essential amino acids, Elastin is a valuable dietary supplement and ideal for high protein applications. It is neutral in taste, soluble in cold water and thus optimized for applications in beverages and food.
Elastin in medicine
Elastin can be processed very well into materials that can be used for wound treatments. We have developed patented processes for this purpose.
Elastin for cosmetics
We offer pure, soluble elastin as a sustainable and natural raw material for cosmetic products, for example for anti-aging applications.
What is Elastin?
Our globally recognized expertise in elastin is based on many years of scientific research into the structure and properties of this unique polymer. An overview.
Peptineer-platform
Peptineer is a platform technology developed by matrihealth for innovative and advanced
biomaterials design. With Peptineer, we introduce chemical modifications into peptides that lack amino acids with functionalizable side chains.
Bioprinting with Elastin
Elastin-based biomaterial inks for tissue engineering applications and Bioprinting
Tropoelastin
Tropoelastin is the soluble precursor of elastin and is produced biotechnologically. Our recombinant human tropoelastin isoform 2 (UniProt P15502-2) can be used for various applications in research and development.
