TESTING ARRANGEMENT FOR EXAMINING A CELL CULTURE UNDER THE EFFECT OF A DYNAMIC FORCE

摘要

A test arrangement for examining a cell culture under the effect of a dynamic force has a three-dimensionally designed support structure which is designed such that the cell culture is embedded into the support structure. By applying a force, the support structure is deformed, wherein a force application device has a first actuator which acts on the support structure at a distance from the cell culture embedded in the support structure. The force application device has a second actuator and a third actuator, each of which acts on the support structure at a distance from the cell culture embedded in the support structure. The third actuator exerts a force onto the support structure, the force being oriented differently than the force exerted by the first actuator and the force exerted the second actuator.
