  • Biaxial stimulation of a cells in a monolayer or 3D matrix

 

The MCB1 uses a complex deformable interface to generate radial motion patterns on a 24-pin mounting ring.  User-supplied 35mm diameter membranes, scaffolds, and tissues can be puncture-mounted to this ring and biaxially stretched according to the specified protocol.  The entire assembly can be sterilized and is suitable for long-term cell culture in a laboratory incubator.

Key Features

 

  • Biaxial stretch up to 20%
  • Compatible with a wide range of materials including silicone membranes, decellularized tissues, hydrogels, electrospun materials, and more.
  • PC-independent operation
  • User-friendly interface software for specifying simple, cyclic, and intermittent stimulation protocols for download to the device controller
