Overview The Agilent T150 UTM is a universal testing machine that offers researchers a superior means of nanomechanical characterization. The state-of-the-art T150 employs a nanomechanical actuating transducer head to produce tensile force (load on sample) using electromagnetic actuation combined with a precise capacitive gauge, delivering outstanding sensitivity over a large range of strain. The T150 UTM enables researchers to understand dynamic properties of compliant fi bers via the largest dynamic range in the industry and the best resolution on the market (fi ve orders of magnitude of storage and loss modulus). It also lets researchers investigate tension / compression properties of biological materials via a dynamic characterization mode that permits accurate measurement at each point during testing.
