Tissue Elastometer (Model: TE-v2.0)

Tissue Elastometer TE-v2.0 is a desktop device for stress-strain measurements on small specimens of excised soft tissues, tissue mimicking materials and phantoms. The device measures the Young’s modulus of tissue samples based on stress vs. strain dependence.  

Features:

• USB interface for PC communication
• Fully controlled by Windows based application
• Results received within a minute
• Range:  1 kPa to 1000 kPa
• Accuracy: ±2-20%
• Allows to view and print out charts of stress/strain curve of tested sample
• Allows future analysis based on saved data (calibration, stress/strain measurements and Young’s modulus evaluation)
• Automatic calibration
• Functional control based on measurements of standard samples

Ordering Information

Tissue Elastometer TE-v.2.0 comes with power supply, USB cable, a set of silicone samples for device testing, laptop computer (optional) and CD with software and documentation.
