To enhance the comparability and reproducibility of soft matter mechanical data across laboratories, we are launching a brief, community-driven inter-laboratory validation. We have prepared agarose gel calibration samples for measuring the mechanical properties of soft matter and invite laboratories to participate in a short inter-laboratory validation. Modalities: AFM and nanoindentation What’s involved: Receive sample set + brief protocol (+AFM probes if needed) Measure … Read more
