Disclosed mechanical stimulator systems can maintain the sterility of biological samples within a multi-well plate while mechanically stimulating the samples. The systems disclosed herein allow for the individual activation by mechanical compression of a high number of samples at the same time, while maintaining sterility of the samples. The well plates, guides, actuators, pistons, and other components of the disclosed systems can be configured to be contained in or adjacent to an incubator that can control properties such as gas levels and temperature while at the same time allowing for the mechanical actuation of the biological samples.
