Low force Dynamic Fatigue Testing Machine is often used to determine how a material will perform over time and repeated use.

Tissue engineering applies the principles of biology and engineering to the development of functional substitutes for damaged tissue. Mechanobiology provides insights into tissue physiology, disease development and relevant therapeutic strategies by understanding how mechanical forces induce changes at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels. These two fields focus heavily on how physical forces and changes in the mechanical properties of cells and tissues contribute to development, cell differentiation, physiology, and disease. Thus, mechanical testing is an integral part of advancements in these emerging fields.

Biomaterial cells:  Serving as the basis for tissue regeneration, stem cells (such as mesenchymal stem cells) or already differentiated functional cells are typically used, expanded in vitro, and then implanted into a biological scaffold. 

Biological scaffold materials:  Provide three-dimensional structural support, simulating the extracellular matrix environment, divided into natural materials (such as collagen, chitosan) and synthetic materials (such as polylactic acid). 

Biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical compatibility to promote cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. 

When execute the fatigue testing at very low loads, load cell selection is vital to ensure the appropriate measurement accuracy and control. High precision small load range load cell and the compact designed test fixture, make machine suitable for the tissue engineering like biomaterial cells, biological scaffold materials, (such as collagen, chitosan) and synthetic materials (such as polylactic acid), surgical implant etc., industry fatigue testing and lab research. For loads in the sub-Newton range (e.g. down to 1 gram) an ultra-low capacity load cell can be used. In this particular case, we used a 10 N (1000 gram) load cell in conjunction with the UTDS-3EX.
