Table 2. Validation of the relationship between the measured strain in cardiac microtissue wells (i.e. distance between posts) and strain applied to the entire PDMS well.
Average Measured Strain (%) | Applied strain (%) | Percent Error (%) |
---|---|---|
4.7 ± 0.1 | 5 | 9.8 ± 2.9 |
10.5 ± 0.9 | 10 | 7.7 ± 4.1 |
13.3 ± 0.2 | 15 | 12.5 ± 2.0 |
16.9 ± 0.6 | 20 | 18.4 ± 4.4 |
