This is a two-day (October 6-7) virtual workshop co-hosted by the BioWorkshop and TA Instruments.
The workshop will cover fundamentals of rheological and mechanical analysis, test methodology and applications of these measurements in characterization of hydrogels, tissue and fluids.
Users may submit samples to TA Instruments for hands-on measurements using ARES G2 rheometer and DMA Q850 (both are available in the BioWorkshop), to be demonstrated over video on Wednesday October 7th. The due date for sample submission is September 25th. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
