Development of a chamber to investigate high-intensity compression waves upon live cell cultures
Résumé
Understanding how high-intensity compression waves damage human tissue is critical to developing improved therapeutic interventions for treating traumatic injuries arising from explosive devices. Assessment of the cellular and molecular basis of damage that is physiologically relevant requires the study of biomaterials using appropriate techniques which subject samples to compression waves at magnitudes relevant to traumatic injury. Here, we present the design and initial calibration of a polycarbonate chamber to be used in a split Hopkinson pressure bar system to study live cell cultures.
