Bose

Bose Corporation’s ElectroForce Systems Group manufactures ElectroForce® test instruments using proprietary linear motor technology.  Bose offers instruments for the characterization of soft tissues, bones, biomaterials, and a variety of medical devices.  The ElectroForce BioDynamic® test instrument provides characterization and stimulation of tissue constructs in a biological environment. www.bose-electroforce.com

 

CETR

CETR is a 16-year old world-leading manufacturer of nano, micro and macro precision mechanical testers for bio-materials, coatings and thin films. The universal testers provide comprehensive measurements of all mechanical and tribological properties, such as adhesion and delamination, scratch-resistance, nano- and micro- hardness, Young’s modulus, friction and stiction, reciprocating and rotary wear, fretting and corrosion, abrasion, multi-axis fatigue, elasticity and plasticity, tension and compression, torsion, etc., including in controlled temperatures, humidity, liquids and gases. The testers are widely used in the biomedical and other industries, as well as for academic materials research on nano and micro levels.

 

CSM Instruments

Micro Materials: Excellence in nanomechanics - click to open the website in a new window

The NanoTestTM from Micro Materials Ltd

Micro Materials Ltd (MML) were established in 1988 and since then have pioneered nanomechanical test instrumentation.

The current MML NanoTest system offers a range of methods of materials characterisation, including nanoindentation, nano-impact and nano-scratch and wear measurements. It is in use in leading university and industrial laboratories the world over.

In recent years, MML have pioneered nanomechanical testing in real-world conditions. This innovative approach has led to the development of unrivalled testing modules, among them the high temperature testing module, which allows testing of a sample heated up to temperatures of 750°C. MML also offer a unique liquid cell, which allows the testing of samples fully immersed in fluid. The patented MML nano-impact and fatigue system affords unrivalled information on fracture and fatigue behaviour.
