The Orthopedic Biomechanics Laboratory has more than 20 years of experience in material testing and tissue property characterization. Such studies have provided useful basic science information about normal and pathologic tissues of the musculoskeletal system. Our success has been driven by the quality and number of collaborators at the Mayo Clinic and the large number of research projects funded by NIH. Our expertise with material testing was recognized by the institution by establishing us as a Material Testing Core Facility, which is available to all investigators at Mayo. This grant application is submitted to request to request the purchase of a low-force material testing system (858 Mini Bionix, MTS, Minneapolis, MN). The current systems that we have are sub-optimal for the testing and detecting subtle changes in properties of soft tissues and small animal bones. We also request an environmental chamber to allow us to test materials in a controlled environment stimulating the in vivo condition Shared use of this equipment is planned at this time among eight investigators.

骨科生物力学实验室在材料测试和组织特性表征方面拥有20多年的经验。这些研究提供了有关肌肉骨骼系统正常和病理组织的有用的基础科学信息。我们的成功得益于马约诊所合作者的质量和数量以及NIH资助的大量研究项目。我们在材料测试方面的专业知识得到了该机构的认可，将我们建立为材料测试核心机构，该机构可供马约的所有研究人员使用。该资助申请旨在请求购买低力材料测试系统（858 Mini Bionix，MTS，Minneapolis，MN）。我们现有的系统对于测试和检测软组织和小动物骨骼特性的细微变化来说是次优的。我们还要求一个环境室，使我们能够在模拟体内条件的受控环境中测试材料，目前计划由8名研究者共同使用该设备。
