5 Steps to Effective Mechanical Testing Automation for Biomedical Labs in CDMOs
The production of auto-disable (AD) safe-injection devices is a core activity for many contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs). Mechanical testing assesses the safety and efficacy of AD syringes before they go to market. With the AD device industry set to grow to over $13.3 billion by 2028, laboratories within CDMOs will perform more tests more frequently. Here we look at how cobot-based systems can help these labs cope with growing workloads by maximizing repeatability and efficiency.

Alignment Tips for the AutoX750 Extensometer
Alignment Tips for the AutoX750 Extensometer The AutoX750 automatic contacting extensometer is simultaneously capable of long travel, fast setup, reliable positioning, and sub-micron precision. For all its capabilities, it is still a complex machine requiring careful setup and maintenance. Different lab conditions may call for it to be repositioned or moved, which will require the AutoX750 to be realigned. If you’re thinking about doing this yourself, then this guide is for you.

Product Spotlight: Component Test Plate
In this video Instron Applications Engineer, Sammi Sadler, discusses a variety of ways the component test plate can be used to increase the versatility of your single and dual column universal testing systems. The component test plate is a drilled and tapped metal plate that gets mounted to the base of the testing frame. The entire surface is covered by an array of M6 threaded holes that make it ideal for performing tensile, compression, flexure, peel, and puncture testing on components and end products. It's also commonly used to mount standard and custom grips and fixtures off-center.
