The MechanoCulture J1 is capable of running 6 cyclic mechanical stimulation tests on a variety of tissues, scaffolds, and constructs. Each test chamber is equipped with it’s own actuator and force sensor running an independent test protocol. During the test, users can visually observe the specimens through the transparent chambers and measure changes in specimen stiffness. After the test, the specimens can be removed for further macro- and micro-scale analysis.
