UniVert
Precision Mechanical Testing on Your Lab Bench
The UniVert provides critical mechanical property data for research in natural tissues, 3D bio-printed structures, orthopedic devices, and more.
The compact size and budget-friendly price of the UniVert S makes it possible to access testing capabilities exactly when and where they’re needed. The larger force capacities and extended range of the UniVert 1kN and 10kN are suitable for a wide range of materials.
Key Features
- Quality, cost-effective testing in a compact design
- User-friendly with easy-to-change fixtures and load cells for various applications
- Integrated imaging for test visualization, analysis, and presentation
- Comprehensive user interface software for straightforward, cyclic, relaxation, and multi-modal testing with immediate feedback
- Integrated environmental chambers
- Optional secondary axes for shear, torsion, or pressure testing
Non-contact tools for strain control
In strain control protocols, real-time image analysis of the specimen strain is used to achieve the specified strain profile. For all test types, more advanced strain mapping tools are available to fully characterize the specimens strains, compare tests, and output data for more more extensive modelling and analysis.
UniVert S, 1kN and 10kN
Achieve forces up to 10kN. All systems are compatible with fluid baths, imaging, non-contact strain measurement, and auxiliary axes for shear, torsion, or pressure.
Fluid Baths
The UniVert systems can be equipped with a horizontal or vertical temperature-controlled fluid bath to ensure sensitive biomaterials are tested under the appropriate conditions.
Specimens & Mounting
Multiple Axis Testing
Shear, twist, and pressure axes can be added to the primary linear test axis to test a wide range of specimens. These actuators and sensors integrate seamlessly with the device controller, software and data output.
