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.

Instron at Tissue Engineering Conference in Istanbul


 
Instron TGT went on the road for the TERMIS (Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society) meeting in Istanbul, Turkey at the end of June. Despite the "social unrest" in Istanbul, the conference was well attended with over 500 attendees from around the world, including Argentina, Chile, Korea, Russia, and New Zealand.

We introduced our combination of products, with a demonstration of the 5944 and Bluehill® and the LigaGen Bioreactor System. The attendees were excited to learn about the acquisition and the new solutions that Instron could provide to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We estimate that 3040% of the researchers were familiar with Instron, including those already using Instron systems to characterize materials for tissue engineering or to test and characterize tissue engineered products.

Tissue engineering conferences are an exciting combination of disciplines and this one was no exception. An array of topics were covered, ranging from Biomaterials; Scaffold Designs and Fabrication Techniques; Tissues & Cells; Stem Cell Science; Genetic Modifications; and Bioreactors.

We look forward to attending the remaining 2013 regional meetings in Shanghai (October 2326) and Atlanta, GA (November 1013).
