Abstract
The invention relates to a method for preparing a tensile test on an elongate, more particularly fibrous, specimen, for example on a collagen fibril, comprising the steps of:—providing the elongate specimen;—attaching a handling particle to the elongate specimen;—providing a force sensor, on which a retainer for the handling particle on the elongate specimen is disposed;—connecting a handling apparatus to the handling particle on the elongate specimen; and—connecting the handling particle on the elongate specimen to the retainer on the force sensor by means of the handling apparatus. The invention also relates to a method and a device for performing a tensile test on an elongate specimen.
Claims15
A method for preparing a tensile test on an elongated specimen, with the steps of:
- providing the elongated specimen,
- attaching a manipulating particle to the elongated specimen,
- providing a force sensor on which a retainer for the manipulating particle on the elongated specimen is arranged,
- manipulating the manipulating particle on the elongated specimen by means of a manipulating device, wherein the manipulating device is a micropipette or a pair of magnetic tweezers, the manipulating particle has a magnetisable material, and the manipulating particle is guided by means of a magnetic force between the manipulating device and the manipulating particle, and
- connecting the manipulating particle on the elongated specimen to the retainer on the force sensor with the aid of the manipulating device, wherein an interlocking connection is provided between the manipulating particle and the retainer.
A device for carrying out a tensile test on an elongated specimen comprising:
- a force sensor with a retainer for connection to a manipulating particle on the elongated specimen, wherein the container is configured for an interlocking connection to the manipulating particle;
- and
- a manipulating device for manipulating the manipulating particle, wherein the manipulating device is a micropipette or a pair of magnetic tweezers, the manipulating particle has a magnetisable material, and the manipulating particle is guidable by means of a magnetic force between the manipulating device and the manipulating particle.
