Thanks to the QUT Science and Engineering Faculty Small Equipment Bid round for 2019, the BTM Group have a new piece of kit to complement the suite of characterisation tools for measuring biomaterial hardness.
This week, PhD Students Matt and Jacob, and postdoc David set up the fabulously purple hardness tester in the Biofabricaiton Lab, pictured.
We look forward to using this new device to measure material hardness for hydrogels, silicones, prosthetic materials and other biomaterials!
