▶ Capable of stretching cells in culture; functions by applying a stress load to cells growing in-vitro, provided that the microscope set up is compatible.
▶ Simultaneously stretches cells in a single chamber, in one or two directions while allowing for imaging before and after stretch.
▶ The system’s mechanical stretching unit operates inside an incubator atop a microscope, while the control unit and video output are placed outside.
▶ 64 available preprogrammed stretch patterns save researchers precious time and make it incredibly easy to get experiments started.
▶ Bidirectional stretch parameters included, however, the uniaxial stretch is possible as well.
