IonOptix MyoStretcher
Record Force from Isolated Cardiac Myocytes!
IonOptix is proud to announce the release of the MyoStretcher, our new cardiomyocyte force measurement system. Facilitated by the arrival of IonOptix MyoTak, our bio-compatible cell adhesive, we've developed the MyoStretcher with a focus on simplicity, ease-of-use and reliability. The MyoStretcher includes all of the necessary components to stretch as well as record force in isolated myocytes. In addition to the sensitive force transducer, motorized micro-manipulators and all component fittings, we also offer an optional piezo-electric translator for programmable stretching and a kit to facilitate attachment of glass rods to the MyoStretcher arms.
Use the MyoStretcher to investigate:
- Accurate diastolic calcium
- Auxotonic and isometric contractions
- Length-dependent activation
- Force‐velocity relationship
The MyoStretcher can be configured as a stand-alone system or as a modular add-on for your existing IonOptix Myocyte Calcium and Contractility System. Contact us to find out more about this exciting new product!
