When working in the translational phase of research, a comprehensive understanding of tissue mechanical properties is vitally important. With today’s pressures to produce medically relevant results, research conducted in the lab must readily translate to research destined for the clinicº.

When testing a biopsied or sacrificed specimen, the tissue mechanical properties can change drastically, leaving questions and doubts about the test results.  Many of these doubts can be mitigated by using the BioDent™ in situ and in vivoº measurement capabilities.  Tissue mechanical properties can now be measured with certainty in the tissue’s native environmentº.

Active Life interacts with leading researchers and clinicians from around the world to develop technologies that help create medical value. Whether measuring a sample in vitro, in situ, or in vivoº, the BioDent™ will stick with you the whole way through.

Active Life’s Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Paul Hansma has 20+ years of experience in biomaterials research and instrumentation development. As the inventor of Reference Point Indentation (RPI) and as a leading researcher, Dr. Hansma leverages his interdisciplinary background to invent new technologies for and by the end user. Sophisticated enough for advanced laboratory research, yet simple enough for plug and play use, the BioDent™ was designed with the end in mind.
