• Test specimen as small as 3x3mm up to 20x100mm
• Multiple attachment options
• Quality, cost-effective testing
• Imaging and temperature controlled fluid baths available

The UStretch makes it possible to carry out dependable, mechanical testing of soft materials for a reasonable price.

Applications

Typical applications include  hydrogels, skin, muscle, blood vessels, heart valves, ligaments, sclera and scaffolds.

Specifications

You can test specimen as small as 3x3mm and as large as 20x100mm.
Deformation rates can be as high as 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.

Software

Optional image tracking and analysis software allows images to be analyzed to identify and quantify strain non-uniformities and regional property variations (like those in the specimen to the right).
Test protocols can be saved and modified. Real-time force and displacement graphing facilitates test validation.
