Biomaterial Testing

WPI offer an extensive range of mechanical testing, cell stimulation and microphysiological systems for characterizing the mechanical properties of biomaterials. Our materials testing systems and bioreactors are used in a wide range of research applications across biomaterials testing and soft materials research. Researchers use our systems to investigate fundamental mechanics, validate engineered constructs, and determine mechanical properties of biological and synthetic material performance, as well as investigate mechanobiology effects.

Mechanical Test Systems

CellScales range of benchtop mechanical testers for your biomaterials, material mechanics, and mechanobiology research, designed for accuracy, versatility, and ease of integration.

BioTester

A biaxial mechanical testing system for controlled planar loading of tissues, membranes, and engineered constructs. The BioTester series is well-suited to anisotropic materials and studies that require multi-directional testing and optical tracking.

Cell & Tissue Stimulation

Our MechanoCulture bioreactors provide insights into the response of cells and tissues to mechanical stimulation.

MechanoCulture

A programmable bioreactor that provides controlled mechanical compression for scaffolds, tissues, and other cell culture materials across six independent wells. It enables studies in mechanobiology, tissue formation, and cellular response to mechanical cues.

MechanoCulture MCJ1 – 6 specimen tension stimulation
MechanoCulture MCTX – 6 specimen compression stimulation
MechanoCulture MCTR – 9 specimen hydrostatic stimulation
MechanoCulture MCT6 – 6 specimen uniaxial stimulation
