Muromachi TK-252C has been designed for the precise measurement of the bone and wound breaking strength of the rats or mice. It is a space-efficient desk top model that has not ever commercially been available.
Four types of tests------- 1) Bending 2) Torsion ( optional ) 3) Compressing of Lumber Vertebrae ( optional ) 4) Wound Breaking ( optional ) can be performed just by replacing the sensors and their accessories.
The information on the measurement can be entered by the keyboard of the Controller and the test results will be graphically displayed on the screen of the Controller and then printed out by the built-in rapid thermal printer.
In the torsion test, on top of normal operation, the operator can preset an extra weight ranging from 10 grams to 490 grams by 10 gram steps against the sample.
RS232C interface is provided on the rear panel of the Controller so that the data obtained can be exported to a personal computer and saved as a CSV file. DCS-BST Data Collection Software comes supplied with the instrument.
The operation is quite simple and so even personnel not experienced in this test can use it with ease.
