CCMBM Tools & Technology Workshop: A Process Workflow for the Rapid Assessment of Bone Matrix Mechanical Properties
December 4, 2:00-3:00pm; Parnassus, CS-1111
The preparation of bone samples for the assessment of matrix mechanical properties is currently low throughput. To improve throughput and reduce investigator effort, we have designed a process flow that enables the simultaneous preparation and mechanical testing of up to 48 bone samples. We will discuss the advantages and versatility of this new tool for high-throughput assessment of bone matrix properties in a seminar-style format.
