TC-3F bioreactor

The TC-3F Bioreactor, with force measurement capabilities, is the natural evolution of the TC-3 bioreactor. Moreover the advantages of the original version, the TC-3F permits the user to measure the force which is applied on the sample for each tension or compression level. Run up to three simultaneous experiments while the force exerted by the material is recorded. The first load system specifically designed for cell culture with force measurement capabilities.

Overview

Overview

The TC-3F permits to work with:

  • One, two or three simultaneous samples.
  • Up to 100N of maximal force measurement capacity
  • Easy-to-use and intutive control software.
  • Grips compatible with sheet-shaped, rod-shaped and cylinder-shaped samples.
  • Tension and compression axial loading.

Ease of use is the key feature of the TC-3F system, which can be used just with a basic knoledge withou the need of studying thick manuals and intrincated softwares. The TC-3F provides some of the futures of material testing machines adapted to cell culture, but keeping the operation of the system as simple as possible.

Different grips for tension and compression loads are available, which gives the TC-3F the versatility necessary to become an essential piece of equipment in a tissue engineering laboratory.

A standard computer is used to control de system, which is operated through a simple, easy-to-use software interface.

TC-3 bioreactor

The TC-3 Bioreactor has been designed as a simple, easy-to-use system suitable to create cell culture experimental set-ups accounting for user-defined mechanical loading profiles. The needs of researchers who would like to culture cells under mechanical stimuli have been accounted for in the design of the TC-3. It combines the features of a traditional testing machine with the particular demands of cell culture, with special emphasis on the sterilization of the parts which are going to contact the culture medium, the easy assembling, the sample inspection by microscopy techniques and the straightforward sample manipulation.
