The Rheolution ElastoSens Bio

The Rheolution ElastoSens Bio is a state-of-the-art device designed for the mechanical characterization of biological materials and biomaterials in a non-invasive and dynamic manner. Using innovative techniques, this system allows for the measurement of properties such as elasticity, stiffness, and viscoelastic behavior in real-time, without the need for direct contact or material damage.

Key Features

• Temperature Control: The device offers precise control over the temperature of test samples during analysis. Customizable temperature conditions.
• Built-in Ultrasonic Volume Probe: Equipped with advanced ultrasonic technology for volume measurements.
• 3 Built-in UV and Visible Light Sources: Provides options for exposure to ultraviolet or visible light during experiments.
• Built-in Gas Entries for Environmental Control: Supports gas regulation for controlled environmental conditions.
• Sample Holders:

- Macro-Volume Sample Holder (1-7 mL): For larger sample volumes.
- Micro-Volume Sample Holder (250 µL): For smaller sample volumes.
- Spring and membrane sample holders: For robust or fragile samples.

• Real-Time Analysis: Monitors the evolution of mechanical properties of samples under various environmental and biological conditions.
• Non-Invasive Measurement: Operates without direct contact with the sample, ensuring the preservation of its structural characteristics without deformation or damage.
• Versatility: Capable of analyzing a wide range of materials, including biological tissues, hydrogels, membranes, biopolymers, and other biomaterials. Compatible with various sample holders, enabling repeatable testing.
• Ease of Operation: Equipped with an intuitive software interface for configuration and detailed data analysis.
• Database with Personalized Variables and Parameters: Allows customization and management of data for specific experimental needs.
• App-Instrument Wireless Communication: Remote operation is enabled via wireless connectivity to a tablet or other devices.

Applications

The ElastoSens Bio is ideal for applications across various fields of science and technology, including:

• Development of biomaterials for regenerative medicine.
• Study of the mechanical properties of natural and artificial tissues.
• Analysis of dynamics of gelation in hydrogels or solidification of polymeric systems.
• Investigation of environmental impact and stability of biomaterials in different media.

Studies examples: Hydrogel formulation, degradation studies of hydrogels, tissue engineering, blood coagulation tests and effects of hemostatic agents, 3D bioprinting, radiation cross-linking, mechanical properties of tissues, and superabsorbent polymers.
