系統(tǒng)簡介：
biomomentum廠家Mach-1軟組織壓縮、張力、剪切和扭矩測量分析系統(tǒng),Mach-1? Multiaxial Mechanical Testers是1999年推出的力學(xué)測試系統(tǒng)（圖1），*初用于測試軟骨，現(xiàn)在可以用于測試各種組織和軟材料的力學(xué)性質(zhì)。Mach-1體積小，采用模塊化設(shè)計且可以進行定制，在生物材料研究中具有廣泛的應(yīng)用。
系統(tǒng)亮點：
l 大范圍高精度多軸測試：可測量動態(tài)、靜態(tài)和各種波形的壓縮、張力、剪切和扭矩
l 可在標準的培養(yǎng)皿中進行力學(xué)刺激實驗
l 用戶友好的數(shù)據(jù)采集和分析軟件
l 可作為理想的教學(xué)工具
l 體積小，方便攜帶
l 可**測試微米至厘米范圍內(nèi)低力學(xué)性質(zhì)的樣品
Biomentum為提供多種標準和定制的附件來滿足不同的需要。Mach-1可更換壓縮桿對不同的細胞進行測量，測試室和固定裝置也有很多種型號供客戶選擇。通過這些零件的組合，Mach-1可以對動脈、關(guān)節(jié)軟骨、生物反應(yīng)器、骨、中央神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)、彈性纖維、胎膜、皮膚、水凝膠等材料實現(xiàn)表面力學(xué)譜測定（圖2 A）、壓痕實驗（圖2 B）、非受限壓縮實驗（圖2 C）、施加力學(xué)刺激（圖2 D）、肌腱張力測試（圖2 D）等功能。

Mechanical Testing System
The Mach-1? is a mechanical testing system commercially available since 1999. Originally developed for cartilage testing, this multiple-axis tester is now being used in various configurations for the evaluation of mechanical properties of tissues and soft material. Due to its small footprint, modular design and customization features, the Mach-1? offers versatility in numerous biological, biomaterial, and material testing applications.
iomomentum has developed innovative functionalities for Automated Indentation Mapping of articular cartilage samples with the use of the unique multiple-axis capabilities of the Mach-1? V500css.
