Specifications
- Main Unit: Compatible with Nikon, Olympus, Zeiss, and Leica microscopes. Stage drawings are required for the necessary stage adapter to be built.
- Control Unit: Actuates the main unit to implement the desired stretching pattern for one cell culture.
- ST-1900: Employs 4 cm² chamber designed for XY bidirectional stretching
- Stretching Patterns: Up to 64 patterns. Custom patterns for high-velocity stretch are available for purchase.
- Stretch Direction: Biaxial stretch, but is capable of a uniaxial stretch as well.
Notes:
Video output through computer/monitor is not provided. Strex does not sell these.

Additional Information
The system is capable of stretching cells in culture by applying stress load and can stretch cells in a single chamber in one or two directions while allowing for imaging before and after stretch.
The system’s mechanical stretching unit operates inside an incubator on top of a microscope, while the control unit and video output are placed outside, has 64 pre-programmed stretch patterns which make it easy to get experiments started.
The system can stretch cells in two directions, but also allows uniaxial stretch as well.
