Speaker Bioindenter
Bio: To satisfy the needs of biologists and soft material scientists, a new type of indentation system has been developed within the framework of a cooperation project between CSM Instruments and CSEM in Switzerland.

This device, called Bioindenter, is composed of a modified Ultra Nanoindentation Tester (UNHT) and a Biochamber for easy mounting and observation of biological samples.  This nanoindentation system is designed to test materials with Young.s modulus in the range of ~10 kPa up to ~400 MPa.

The Nanoindentation part of the system has been optimized to respond to the requirements of testing of soft materials with non-planar surfaces.
