BioSoft In-Situ Indenter

Bruker's Hysitron BioSoft is a first-of-its-kind instrument specifically designed for multiscale quantitative mechanical testing of biological materials and soft matter, such as hydrogels. This portable system integrates with existing inverted optical microscopes to perfectly synchronise mechanical and optical characterisation techniques. BioSoft uniquely enables the advanced biomechanical testing capabilities to achieve a comprehensive understanding of biomaterials mechanics.

Characterise a broad range of biological materials:

• Hydrogels - agarose, contact lenses, mimicking tissues
• Soft Biological Tissues - skin, brain, cartilage, cornea, veins, heart valves
• Tissue Engineering - grafts and tissue scafolds
