Welcome to our new Instron Community Blog hosted by Instron. It is a compilation of the freshest, brightest, most-talented minds that Instron has to offer. The world of materials science is so vast and encompasses the broadest range of industries, materials, and challenges that no one person can possibly possess all the knowledge required to be the resident expert – or master of materials science. It takes a small army behind the scenes collaborating and sharing technical know-how, experiences, and ideas to present the most accurate, relevant, and timely information to you – our readers.

We invite you to tell us who you are, share your stories and talk about your experiences. Join the Instron Community.

Biomaterials Conference Brings Us Back to Our Roots

The 24th European Conference on Biomaterials, in Dublin, Ireland did not only prove to be a beneficial conference to our Biomedical Applications team, but it turned out to be a winning experience for a student from Imperial College London, UK.

We find it important and necessary to take the time to speak with our customers to understand their needs for biomaterials testing.

Taking the opportunity to meet with the 900+ attendees at the conference, we asked our booth visitors to fill out a survey based on their research, mechanical testing, and impression of Instron. The results help us to better understand some of the recent market trends and plan for the future.

Esther Valliant was the lucky winner of an Amazon Kindle after taking part in our survey on the Instron stand.

The conference provided an excellent forum for scientists and researchers to exchange information and ideas on a variety of subjects within biomaterials and tissue engineering. We found significant interest in mechanical testing and discussed a host of differing testing challenges and potential solutions.

Simply follow this blog to find out where we’ll be next so you have a chance to stop by our booth and talk with us about enhancements you see as beneficial to your daily applications ... oh, and you may win a prize too!
