That commitment began at the bench. In 2008, when Dr. Carter Ralphe at the University of Wisconsin needed to measure force in delicate tissue constructs within a sealed, oxygen-controlled environment, existing systems couldn’t deliver.

Aurora Scientific @aurorascientific.bsky.social · 25/05/2026
We partnered with his team to create a solution, integrating oxygen control with high-sensitivity force measurement. The outcome? Published research, expanded capability, and a platform that evolved into the 801C-300, now a standard within our 1500A small intact muscle systems.
