A low-cost open-source uniaxial tensile system for soft tissue testing. This study presents a low-cost open-source design solution for soft tissue tensile testing, offering an affordable solution, yet without compromising the high quality and precision of the results. The proposed uniaxial tensile system allows sample testing at room temperature as well as in a temperature-controlled liquid environment. Moreover, customized 3-D printed grips ensure fixation of the tissue samples without slipping or tearing.

一款面向软组织（soft tissue）测试的低成本开源单轴拉伸系统（uniaxial tensile system）。本研究针对软组织拉伸测试提出了该低成本开源设计方案，其兼具经济实用性与测试结果的高品质、高精度，未因成本控制而牺牲测试品质。所提出的单轴拉伸系统支持在室温及控温液体环境中开展样品测试。此外，定制化3-D打印夹具可确保软组织样品被牢固固定，不会发生滑移或撕裂。
