Unlock the power of
mechanobiology

Discover game-changing insights to accelerate your translational research

With a wide range of application areas, across an array of samples, for various disease areas and testing needs, our measurement platforms provide you with precise insights into mechanical cues to advance your translational research.

Mechanobiology can be described as the intricate movement of forces within cells and tissues. We believe that having a better understanding of these forces allows for significant advancements in healthcare and therapy development. We design and develop life science instrumentation that performs precise measurements in near-physiological conditions to provide functional, easy-to-use readouts. Our solutions provide critical insights to further the discovery, development, testing and manufacturing of medical therapies.
