StimSwitch The IonOptix StimSwitch system permits stimulation and, optionally, perfusion of up to 6 wells in a 24 well tissue culture plate. The system consists of a multiplexing switch box, cabling, and stimulation lid. It takes the high voltage output of a stimulator and allows the user to manually redirect that voltage to one of 6 different wells in the multiwell plate. All the controls for this device [...]
Interested in a COMPLETE Intact Muscle Chamber system? Learn more here Lying between single cell and whole heart experimental studies, intact papillary muscle isolated from hearts offers unique advantages. Unlike single isolated myocytes, which represent the smallest fully functional model system, intact papillary muscle can be used to study cardiac function within a multicellular context and an intact 3-dimensional myofilament lattice. And unlike whole heart studies, the contractile characteristics of papillary [...]
LED Light Source Recent advances in light emitting diodes have led to a number or previously unavailable wavelengths, including higher energy UV LEDs for Fura-2 illumination. We're proud to offer advanced LEDs offering excitation light for most common fluorophores. These LEDs feature closed-loop feedback control for stable intensity as well as protective overload circuitry to prevent LED damage. Wavelength switching is practically instantaneous and can be continuously alternated [...]
IonOptix has expanded the functionality of its IonWizard core acquisition software to include increased hardware control as well as a new software module that improves the breadth of the MyoStretcher myocyte stretch and force measurement system, an integrated, full featured system that enables scientists to investigate muscle mechanics at the single cell level while synchronously recording quantitative fluorescence and sarcomere length. The MyoStretcher has been engineered to attach single myocytes and [...]
The MultiCell Automated Cell Finder enables users to load a sample, walk away, and come back to as many as hundreds of measured cells. In addition to ease of use, Automated Cell Finder eliminates human bias in cell selection. Specify the following criteria for cell selection: Cell area and aspect ratio Distance between cells Motion pattern when scanning for cells Cell motion detection The software will scan the field [...]
Motic AE31 Photometry And Dimensioning Microscope The IonOptix-configured Motic AE31 inverted microscope provides an ideal platform for combined photometry and dimensioning measurements. This microscope has been engineered to incorporate various unique IonOptix optical components and connectors in order to operate as the imaging component within our Calcium and Contractility Systems. It features upscale research functions, such as halogen Koehler illumination and epifluorescence capacity. The AE31 also incorporates Motic’s [...]
MyoCam-S3: High-Speed Contractility Camera The IonOptix MyoCam-S3™ is our third generation MyoCam. Featuring a faster, higher resolution CMOS sensor, it is uniquely designed for use with IonOptix Contractility Systems where high frame rates and sub-micron resolution are required to capture myocyte shortening. The MyoCam-S3™ is an all-digital, variable field rate camera that utilizes the USB3 Vision standard for higher data transfer rates over its USB2 predecessor while retaining [...]
The new C-Pace Navigator software allows users to operate both the C-Dish and C-Stretch with a user-friendly interface, making it easy to customize stretch and stimulation protocols. Simple adjustments of both stretch and electrical parameters for each channel Pre-defined basic protocols for simple pacing procedures Adjustable trapezoidal waveform with expansion, hold, and contraction phases Save and re-load stretch and stimulation protocols [...]
The CyFlo software, when coupled with our custom CytoCypher perfusion system, gives users an easy-to-use and precise method of perfusion and compound delivery. In CyFlo, configure two independehttps://www.ionoptix.com/products/componentnt in-flow pumps to deliver the number of solutions to the number of wells desired. An easy priming procedure ensures that only solution and not air is delivered to your sample. Choose to either add, remove, or perfuse with balanced flow a [...]
CytoSolver provides fast automatic data analysis. Analyze batches of data in seconds by simply uploading files and letting CytoSolver take care of automatic transient rejection, data averaging, and curve fitting. Customize rejection parameters to suit your research. Available as a desktop or cloud-based platform. Cloud-based CytoSolver includes data visualization for quick box plots and bar graphs. Whether you're using MultiCell or MultiCell Lite to analyze hundreds of cells at [...]
