系统简介：
biomomentum厂家Mach-1软组织压缩、张力、剪切和扭矩测量分析系统,Mach-1™ Multiaxial Mechanical Testers是1999年推出的力学测试系统（图1），*初用于测试软骨，现在可以用于测试各种组织和软材料的力学性质。Mach-1体积小，采用模块化设计且可以进行定制，在生物材料研究中具有广泛的应用。
系统亮点：
l 大范围高精度多轴测试：可测量动态、静态和各种波形的压缩、张力、剪切和扭矩
l 可在标准的培养皿中进行力学刺激实验
l 用户友好的数据采集和分析软件
l 可作为理想的教学工具
l 体积小，方便携带
l 可**测试微米至厘米范围内低力学性质的样品
Biomentum为提供多种标准和定制的附件来满足不同的需要。Mach-1可更换压缩杆对不同的细胞进行测量，测试室和固定装置也有很多种型号供客户选择。通过这些零件的组合，Mach-1可以对动脉、关节软骨、生物反应器、骨、中央神经系统、弹性纤维、胎膜、皮肤、水凝胶等材料实现表面力学谱测定（图2 A）、压痕实验（图2 B）、非受限压缩实验（图2 C）、施加力学刺激（图2 D）、肌腱张力测试（图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.
