In collaboration with the University of Toronto, CellScale developed a horizontal MicroTester custom configuration, enabling micro-scale tensile testing directly in a 96 well plate.
A custom mounting interface allowed the MicroTester to position accurately over each well for rapid, repeatable tension tests.
Low-mass, compliant hooks were developed to secure microfibers and engineered tissues without altering their geometry or causing damage.
The horizontal layout maintained optical access for imaging during testing, supporting deformation tracking and strain quantification.
This supported the researchers to do high throughput evaluation of engineered fibers, microwires, and microtissues for organ-on-chip applications.
