Claim:
1. A non-destructive in vitro testing method of a specimen, the method comprising the steps of: immersing at least a part of the specimen into a specimen chamber containing a liquid media; controlling surrounding environment, said surrounding environment comprising gaseous atmosphere; imposing, via a punch, a predetermined non-destructive force providing adjusted repetitive non-destructive elastic deformation upon the specimen; controlling the liquid media in the vicinity of the specimen by controlling, via an orifice of said specimen chamber, a flow velocity of the liquid media, the flow velocity having been generated in the liquid media by the predetermined non-destructive force imposed via the punch, wherein said orifice is configured to control the flow velocity of the liquid media at least one of to or from the specimen chamber; and measuring in situ reactions of at least one of the specimen or constituents of the liquid media, said reactions being generated by the imposition of the predetermined non-destructive force and by the flow velocity of the liquid media generated in the specimen chamber by the predetermined non-destructive force.
