Designed to measure the micro-mechanical properties of the most complex materials in challenging environments, the Piuma instrument delivers uncompromised performance for a broad range of applications.
Whether you are looking to analyze cell mechanics, hydrogel stiffness, Young’s Modulus of tissues, or define material performance parameters such as adhesion, swelling or degradation, the Piuma instrument delivers you the data you are looking for.
The Piuma Nanoindenter is engineered to enable researchers that work with soft or biological materials with an accurate and easy way to non-destructively measure the local mechanical properties of any sample.
Amongst the many applications possible, the Piuma Nanoindenter is used to examine the local mechanical properties of hydrogels, tissues, tissue-engineered constructs, 3D-printed scaffolds and structures, cell spheroids, (stem)cells, micropraticles and capsules, microtissues, plant and tissue sections, rubbers, synthetic- and bio-polymers, silicones, biodegradable materials and many more.
The built-in camera (top-view, 5X) and the large-stroke coarse manual Z-stage ensure almost any sample type, size or shape can be mounted. Defining micro-mechanical properties of materials has never been easier!
