The Biotester 5000 allows researchers to accurately measure the complex mechanical properties of soft tissues and biomaterials.
This biaxial test system captures and displays live time, force and synchronised video images for results-verification and post analysis.
The Biorake system allows tissue samples to be mounted into the Biotester 5000 in minutes.
The sharp Biorakes easily pierce the toughest and most delicate soft tissue samples and provide uniformly distributed attachment sites across the geometry of the sample.
The four Biorakes are magnetically mounted and automatically aligned in the biaxial tester.
Samples are placed in the manually operated crown press and pressure is applied to the seating fixture.
The sample is then ready for analysis.
The Biotester 5000 can measure a range of planar tissues in uni-axial and bi-axial tension at any prescribed temperature while the tissue is maintained in a biological solution.
Real-time results are monitored through on-screen force-displacement graphs and real-time visual feedback is provided by an integrated image window.
The intuitive user interface allows the user to obtain results quickly and accurately without the need for a materials-science background.
Integrated software provides a quick and easy menu-driven setup.
Previously used tests or templates can be easily edited for quick test-design.
Live test-status and data graphing provide real-time data monitoring.
Analysis data can be exported to spreadsheets or other scientific modelling software.
