Originally developed for the mechanical evaluation of aorta sections, this kit of 3 pairs of tensile grips can be used for tension testing of samples shaped as a tube or ring. One of the T-shaped support is attached under the load cell using a thumbscrew and the other is attached at the center of the testing chamber base. After alignment of both supports along the vertical and horizontal axis of the tester, the ring of material (e.g. a vein, artery, ring of hydrogel, etc) is slid over both top and bottom posts prior to tension testing. The sample can be placed on one side of the T-shaped support or on both side in duplicate mode.
