ElastoSens™ Bio – Contactless mechanical analysis of soft biomaterials
Rheolution has been at the forefront on providing soft matter analytics. The ElastoSens™ Bio technology platform offers an easy to use, highly efficient and versatile system for providing pertinent information on the mechanical characterization of biomaterials and medical devices for R&D applications, quality control and process control in the field of Life Sciences.
ElastoSens™ Bio uses vibrations to obtain non-destructive contactless viscoelastic measurements of soft matter. The viscoelasticity of biomaterials is calculated using multiple end point parameters such as, G’ (Shear storage modulus), G’’ (Shear loss modulus), tan δ (Loss tangent), Rate (Pa/s), Height (mm).
Applications
- 3D cell culture: Formulation of various scaffolds for biocompatibility of soft materials to provide robust assay systems
- Tissue engineering: To measure mechanical properties of engineered tissues and monitor any changes during culture time
- 3D Bioprinting: To measure viscoelasticity of biomaterials
- Drug Delivery: For precise and long term mechanical evaluation of drug delivery systems
- Preclinical utility:
- R&D applications for providing superior quantitative data to better investigate blood coagulation.
- To study the effect of medication on blood coagulation
- Superabsorbant polymers: Assessing bulk mechanical properties of Superabsorbent polymers (SAP)
Explore the applications of the ElastoSens™ Bio
Formulation of hydrogels
ElastoSens Bio tests smarter and gives you the power of Soft Matter Analytics™ to accelerate the formulation and testing of hydrogels. Test the formation, stability and degradation of your material using the same sample, over long periods of time and under fully controled environmental conditions.
Tissue engineering
Non-destructive, contact-free viscoelastic testing of fragile biomaterials is now possible. See how you can test long-term evolution of cell-laden hydrogels on the same sterile sample with advanced biomaterials testing and analysis.
Hemostatic Agents & Blood Coagulation
ElastoSens™ Bio is the unique viscoelasticity testing instrument that measures, in real time, the formation of blood clots under the action of hemostatic agents. Test hemostatic gauzes, powders and gels in vitro to develop products, to accelerate preclinical studies or to control the quality of medical devices.
3D Bioprinting
The ElastoSens™ Bio tests the viscoelastic of your 3D bioprinted scaffolds without destroying or altering them. Formulate and qualify bioinks, optimize scaffold architeture and study long term evolution of cell-laden 3D bioprinted scaffolds on the same testing platform.
Drug Delivery
Optimize and test long term degradation of hydrogels for drug release using a non-destructive, contact-free viscoelastic testing instrument. The ElastoSens™ Bio allows you simulate in vivo conditions in a simple and effective way, so you can tune your material formulation to adjust the drug release rate.
Superabsorbent Polymers
Use ElastoSens™ Bio to test the absorption of liquids by Superabsorbent Polymers in real time for applications in R&D and industrial quality control.
Photocrosslinking
Use ElastoSens™ Bio to apply light at selected wavelengths (365 nm, 385 nm, and 405 nm) during testing to obtain the crosslinking kinetics in real time of photosensitive biomaterials.
