Overview

ElectroForce Apex 1 Submersible

TA Instruments ElectroForce saline environmental baths are engineered to be easily configurable. These chambers feature removable front plates to allow easy access for installing specimens and a temperature control system to maintain a desired temperature. A removable top cover is also included to minimize fluid and heat loss.

The environmental bath is optimized for testing of biomaterials and medical devices. Suitable for testing in saline solution, the bath is temperature controlled, including feedback by the instrument to help ensure your experiment is being performed as expected. Submersible load cells are available to perform more precise and pure measurement of force during submersed testing.

Key Features

  • Corrosion-resistant design
  • Software controlled temperature control system
  • Temperature range ambient to 45 °C
  • Optical-grade polycarbonate chamber sides
  • Flat sides design for imaging purposes
  • Saline bath includes cover to minimize fluid loss

Saline baths are available for the following systems:

  • ElectroForce 3200 and 3300 systems
  • ElectroForce 3510 axial systems and axial/torsion systems
  • ElectroForce LM1 TestBench and LM1 planar-biaxial systems
  • ElectroForce Apex 1 Instrument

Overview

ElectroForce Apex 1 Environment

TA Instruments ElectroForce hot/cold chamber upgrade adds the ability to test specimens in either cooled or heated environments on ElectroForce test instruments. The chamber is computer controlled allowing either static temperature conditions to be set, or temperature sweeps to be performed.

Two oven accessories are available to suit any sample. The smaller LSO is typically used for smaller samples and lower force testing. The larger oven can fit a wide range of clamps and test types to perform tests without space limitations.

The oven temperature is controlled from WinTest software with feedback into the software and recorded with the test data. Sub-ambient temperatures can be achieved with either liquid nitrogen cooling or the optional Air Chiller System (ACS).

Key Features

  • Software controlled temperature control system
  • Static and dynamic temperature control capable
  • -150°C to +350°C temperature range
  • Chamber cooling using a customer-supplied liquid nitrogen tank
  • Integral heater included
  • Chamber can be easily removed from the test instrument for other testing
  • Hot/cold chambers are available for the ElectroForce Apex 1 Instrument and ElectroForce 3200, 3330 and 3500 test systems
