Calcium and Contractility: Myocytes
IonOptix is proud to offer fast real-time, turnkey systems for recording myocyte calcium and contractility. We are unique in offering simultaneous acquisition of fluorescence photometry with digital cell geometry measurements. All individual components are designed and engineered to work as part of a complete and integrated workstation. This approach enables precise, synchronous data acquisition. The systems are fully integrated and installed on-site, so that the researcher can be up to speed within days of delivery. More than a general fluorescence system, most laboratories simultaneously acquire cell length and sarcomere spacing with their calcium data.
Systems are offered with either of our two excitation light sources: the HyperSwitch or the μStep. Single, dual excitation and dual emission photometry is offered to cover all possible fluorescence probes with acquisition rates up to 1000Hz. Photometry acquisition rates are dependent on the light source and probe. Our MyoCam-S provides 500Hz cell dimension measurements. Our Fluorescence System Interface also permits the simultaneous acquisition of up to 4 channels of 12-bit analog data at a default rate of 1000Hz.
To provide a complete system for physiological measurements we also supply a number of peripheral items including electrical field stimulators, chambers, heaters and superperfusion systems.
