This video demonstrates how the CellScale UniVert mechanical testing system can be used as a teaching tool for biomaterials mechanics in an educational setting.
Using readily available biological specimens such as chicken skin and bone, the demonstration shows tensile testing of soft tissues and three-point bending of bone. The video highlights how test templates, live force–displacement visualization, and post-test image review can be used to teach fundamental concepts in mechanical behavior, material variability, and failure.
The UniVert’s compact design, ease of use, and flexibility make it well suited for undergraduate and graduate laboratory courses in biomechanics and biomaterials.
