ElectroPuls Systems | Instron

The Instron was first developed during World War II to test the tensile strength of parachutes. Now, Mechanical Engineering Professor Kristin Meyers and her PhD students are using it for a different kind of life-saving technology—preventing preterm births. Watch PhD candidate Serena Russell demonstrate the innovative techniques used to hold and test research specimens, including a custom-designed Instron grip system.
