We are excited to announce the launch of our latest products in micro-scale mechanical testing.

Introducing the MicroTester from CellScale Biomaterials Testing!

MicroTester G2

The MicroTester G2 model

MicroTester LT

The MicroTester LT micro-scale mechanical testing system

 

Available in 2 versions to meet your specific testing needs, the MicroTester can compress, pull, bend, indent and shear your delicate biomaterials with incredible force resolution.

With vertical Image Resolution of up to 2048px, you can be assured of great visuals in your testing.

Possible applications are determining the fracture force of hydrogels, the tensile strength of thin films (e.g. spider silk) or even forces generated by cardiomyocytes.
