Biss MC-02-0050 Low force Bi-axial Test System
Custom built instrument to stretch cells on elastomeric substrates,both uniaxially and biaxially. The instrument contains bioreactor with four actuators which are displacement controlled
Planar biaxial test system
This instrument is custom built for testing soft materials in tensile mode (bi-axial) with Exlar actuators, temperature controlled water bath and submersible load cells. The instrument works in both displacement and load control modes.
Dynamic Microtensile Analysis Instrument
Bose Electroforce 3200 is used to test the viscoelastic properties of polymers and tissues. Highly sensitive transducers allow for measurement of forces in the milli-Newton range and displacements in the micron range. Biodynamic chamber is used for tissue engineering applications.
Live cell Microscope
The fully motorized DMI 6000 inverted fluorescence microscope with a live cell stage gives the ability to observe and record cells in real time in both fluorescence and bright field mode. Motorization with AFC allows for multipoint, time lapse imaging drastically reducing the time required for data collection.
Olympus Stereozoom Microscope and Pressure Inflation Unit
The device can simultaneously be used to stretch cylindrical tubes of specimens, such as arteries, and cycle/ maintain pressure in the tube through a comparator circuit.
Martin Christ Alpha 1-2 LD Lyophilizer
The instrument routinely used for drying of biological and polymer materials.
Centrifuge
The centifuge is used to seperate out particles based on density using sedimentation principle
Spin Coater
