Yes, our testing services are available internationally. Our experienced team has collaborated on numerous global mechanical testing projects.

Yes, to see examples, please check our testing devices page or browse through the publication page.

Biological samples prepared abroad are typically shipped to our facility on ice or dry ice after freezing at -80°C. We can recommend specialized carriers to ensure safe transport. Contact us for more details on our shipping processes.

We can map a broad range of mechanical properties of biological tissues. Usually we start from physiological loading conditions and translate these to relevant in vitro tests. For an accurate characterization of these properties, it is important to mimic the in vivo conditions of the human body as closely as possible, i.e. by creating the right loading conditions and the right testing environment. Check this video below to see how we conduct good mechanical testing of biological tissue. For a detailed overview of our tests, please visit our services page or contact us.

We customize the the type of report based on your needs. We can provide you with a data report, which includes the necessary values of the testing results. Such a report can be useful if you only need data or if you have done previous tests with us. Otherwise, we always advise a full scientific report, which includes an introduction test, images, and interpretation. Such a high-quality report can be included in the technical file of the medical device for complying with the market entrance process.

Yes, we can. We have access to human and animal tissues and cells through our collaborations within the Leuven University Hospital and KU Leuven.

Absolutely! We specialize in helping you identify the right tests for your product. Share your request with us, and we'll discuss options based on the mechanical properties you're targeting.

Yes, for custom tests, we always begin with a pilot test. For standardized tests, we may also start with a pilot test based on your product's needs. Afterward, you can decide how to proceed with the full study.

The lab is located on the KU Leuven Science and Technology campus in Heverlee, Belgium. Visit our contact page to see how you can reach us.
