Nanoindentation System — TERG RCSI
Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
Our research group focuses on the development of natural polymer (such as collagen) based scaffolds, hydrogels and films for tissue engineering with target applications in bone, cartilage, cardiovascular, corneal, skin, respiratory and neural tissues. Significant research is currently focused on 3D printing technologies and the development of bio-inks for tissue repair. In addition, the group has major interest in studying the response of living cells to mechanical stimuli and using biophysical stimuli to regulate stem cell differentiation. As such, we require a benchtop nano indentation system that can be used for accurate biomechanical testing of both native and engineered tissues, natural and synthetic materials. The system should be relatively compact, small enough for an academic lab-setting, ideally fit for benchtop use.
