BioTester MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY Biaxial Test System For Biomaterials The BioTester offers you a complete system for examining any planar biological or replacement tissue–skin, ligaments, blood vessels, heart valves, sclera, membranes and scaffolds! Powerful image tracking and analysis software delivers synchronized data, image and video management. ● Quick and easy sample mounting ● High Resolution (integrated) CCD camera provides synchronized video tracking for live images (up to 15 frames/sec) and real-time analysis ● Image tracking and analysis software offers real-time data graphing and imaging to confirm the quality of the data collected ● Precision measurement of small samples (3mm-15mm square) ● Uniaxial or biaxial tension tests of planar tissues ● Multi-modal cyclic, simple and relaxation testing Export data to spreadsheets or other scientific modeling software Synchronized data, image and video management The unique tungsten BioRakes easily pierce the toughest and most delicate soft tissue samples and provide distributed attachment sites across the geometry of the sample for uniform attachment and deformation across the edge of the sample. The sharp rakes will not damage fragile samples. The software features live data graphing and imaging and offers a virtually limitless number of test stages and duration combinations. Previously used tests and templates can be easily edited. CS-BIOTESTER Biaxial Biomaterial Tester For information on these tissue testers, see www.wpiinc.com/stretch Uniaxial Tissue Tester ● Quality testing ● Cost-effective ● Multiple attachment options ● Available imaging and temperature controlled fluid bath The CS-USTRETCH makes it possible to carry out dependable, mechanical testing of soft materials for a reasonable price. 50mm/s and applied forces can be monitored at 100Hz. Load control is also possible, and simple or complex protocols can be specified. A variety of load cells are available, with force resolutions as low as 1mN and capacities as high as 100N. Includes imaging software similar to the BioTester. Applications Typical applications include hydrogels, skin, muscle, blood vessels, heart valves, ligaments, sclera and scaffolds. Specifications Test specimen as small as 3x3mm and as large as 20x100mm. Elongation rates can be as high as Mount a specimen quickly and precisely using the patented BioRake attachment system.
