The gripping action of the A/TG tensile grips is provided by a screw initiated vice clamp operating on knurled jaw faces of 35mm x 35mm.
They are general purpose knurled jaw face grips suitable for holding samples which have a uniform rectangular shape and a maximum thickness of 25mm. The A/MTG Mini Tensile Grips have smaller jaw faces of 25mm x 10mm, with a maximum opening of 8mm. Used for assessment of tensile characteristics of samples such as packaging materials, plastic and aluminium film; and also (in a cycling motion) the flexibility of e.g. chewing gum sticks and confectionery leathers.
Treatment of some diseases is best
achieved by direct administration near the affected area, particularly with
diseases involving ophthalmic, optic, dermal, oral cavity, and anorectal
tissues.
Ocular drug delivery is an interesting and challenging opportunity
for pharmaceutical development.
The eye is protected by a series of complex
defence mechanisms, which usually result in poor bioavailability of drugs
administered via the ocular route. These include tear production and the
blinking reflex in addition to short residence time and reduced drug
permeability. The drug bioavailability can be enhanced either by providing
prolonged/sustained delivery to the eye or by facilitating transcorneal
penetration.
TENSILE GRIPS RANGE: A/TG, A/MTG and A/ATG
