This low-load testing machine is ideal for the mechanical characterization of biological tissues such as cardiovascular tissues, arteries, the esophagus and trachea. The tissues to be tested are placed in a medium bath containing a physiological and temperature-conditio
ned saline solution. Due to the sensitivity of the structures being tested, strain must be measured without affecting the specimen. Measurement is performed using a combination of laserXtens and videoXtens non-contact measuring systems.
