Designed for testing small samples, this 60 ml chamber features three orthogonal transparent portholes to facilitate side imaging. One solid wall provides a black background for improved contrast. The chamber screws directly onto the MA626 testing chamber.
Central component of the Mach-1 mechanical tester. This round test chamber features a 98 mm inner diameter and a threaded base compatible with a wide range of sample holders and accessories. Two interchangeable transparent walls (50.8 mm and 76.2 mm height) slide into place to form a sealed environmental chamber for submerged testing. Made from corrosion-resistant 316l stainless steel, suitable for use with saline solutions.
Designed for synchronized measurement of electric potential during compression of electromechanically active materials (e.g. connective tissue, charged hydrogels). Features five differential Ag/AgCl electrode channels plus a reference electrode, with 1 mm diameter electrodes spaced 4 mm apart. Filled with saline solution (e.g. PBS).
Designed to securely hold multiwell plates on the tester. Fits any plate with a Corning® Costar® footprint, stabilized by four thumbscrews for firm contact with the metallic base. For compatibility questions, contact us.

The calibration weight is used at the start of each test session to verify the integrity and proper function of a load cell. We highly recommend allowing the system to warm up before performing load cell calibration or running any significant experiment. In the Mach-1 Motion software, the calibration function checks and calibrates the load cell using a known weight specified in the configuration file. The calibration weight should generally be chosen to match the average load expected during the experiment for optimal accuracy.
Key Features:
An additional calibration expands the usable load range of a multiple-axis load cell. This calibration is provided through an additional amplification module to which the multi-axis load cell can be connected. Only one calibration can be active at a time; however, the load cell can be freely swapped between any available amplification modules. This specific module is calibrated for the lowest available load range, making it ideal for applications involving lower forces and torques where higher measurement precision is required.
Key Features:
Additional Calibrations Available for Multiple-Axis Load Cells
MA239: Additional Calibration (17 N) and Amplification Module
MA240: Additional Calibration (70 N) and Amplification Module
MA241: Additional Calibration (35 N) and Amplification Module
This multiple-axis load cell measures forces and torques along three axes simultaneously, enabling full characterization of tension/compression, shear, and torsion. An adapter for calibration weights and indenters/grips is mounted underneath the load cell for convenient setup. The system includes two amplification modules, providing a low range of 17 N and a high range of 70 N for flexible measurement.
Despite its advanced capabilities, this load cell is easy to assemble and mount on the tester. It is the smallest commercially available 6-axis transducer in the world.
Multiple-Axis Load Cells with Amplification Module:
Please Note: The Multiple-Axis Load Cell (250 N) with Amplification Module – MA236 has a moment limit of ±30 lb-in (±3.4 Nm) in Tz, exceeding this may cause permanent damage. Maximum single-axis overload: 7.1–15.1 × rated capacity.
The single-axis load cell measures forces applied axially along the Z-axis, in both tension and compression. It is ideal for applications such as indentation, tension, and compression testing. This load cell is not suitable for friction, shear, or torsion measurements. For these types of tests, a multiple-axis load cell is required.
This accessory has been designed to facilitate easy cleaning and disinfection. Its robust construction ensures long-term durability and maintains structural integrity over years of use. The accessory is easy to assemble and simple to mount on the tester, minimizing setup time and improving workflow efficiency. A wide selection of standard and custom-designed accessories is available to support a broad range of testing applications.
