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.

TERM: Cell Culture to Characterization


TERM research is poised to change healthcare as we know it.  This cutting-edge technology is developing personalized medicine and demands the tools and solutions that are able to keep up. Instron is delivering those solutions.

There are three major steps to developing TERM products:

1. Benchmarking: establishing functional goals based on native physiology

2. Cell Culture: successfully stimulating live cells to grow a functional tissue

3. Characterization & Evaluation: evaluating the resulting product and determining if the safety and efficacy benchmarks determined in the native physiogly have been achieved.

Instron’s instrument platform delivers the necessary solutions to achieve these three steps:

1. Both electromechanical and dynamic instruments coupled with clean test chambers and submersible grips can be used for benchmarking native physiology.
 

2. Instron bioreactors can be used for cell culture.

3. Electromechanical and dynamic frames coupled with bioreactor chambers can be used for final characterization.
