1) Instron ElectroPuls E1000:  The mechanical testing lab now features this all-Electric Dynamic Test Instrument. This is one of the world’s best electric test instruments designed for dynamic and static testing, such as tensile, compression and sheer, of a wide range of materials and components. It includes Instron® advanced digital control electronics, Dynacell™ load cell, Console software, and the very latest in testing technology which offers trouble-free tuning based on specimen stiffness, electrically operated crosshead lifts, a T-slot table for flexible test set-ups, and a host of other user-orientated features. With the ability to operate at > 100 Hz, it has high dynamic performance, with ± 2000 N dynamic load capacity and ± 710 N static load capacity.

2) Instron 8501: It is a hydraulic mechanical testing system. The capacity of the system is 100 kN. We have a couple of different capacity load cells so that this system can be used to measure different levels of force.  This system is mainly used for fatigue testing. After more than a decade of work, a variety of fixtures have been designed, and are readily available, for mounting samples appropriately to perform fatigue testing reliably on various biomaterials, especially dental implants. 

3) Microhardness tester: It is a Tukon microhardness tester. This instrument is for the measurement of Knoop Hardness. Its loading range is from 1 gram to 1000 gram.
