MyoPacer To accommodate the needs of the myocyte research community, IonOptix developed an easy-to-use stimulator, specifically designed for pacing cardiac myocytes within our Calcium and Contractility Systems. A digital stimulator display allows users to set voltage, pulse duration, and frequency accurately and reproducibly. Output voltage, frequency, and duration can all be easily adjusted from the front panel and can be pre-programmed or changed on the fly. In addition [...]

C-Pace EM The C-Pace EM is a multi-mode, multi-channel stimulator designed to drive both chronic stimulation and  mechanical stretch of bulk quantities of cells in culture incubators. The C-Pace EM model provides all the various electrophysiology features such as constant variation in frequency, insertion of periodic off beats and programmable frequency changes that were available in the earlier C-Pace EP.  Additionally, the EM version allows control of C-Stretch electromechanical stimulation units [...]

C-Dish The patented* C-Dish™ works with the C-Pace EM chronic cell stimulator to form a complete system for the chronic stimulation of bulk-quantities of cardiac myocytes (and other excitable cells) in culture. The C-Dish™ is a simple, 2-piece assembly that precisely places carbon electrode elements in a variety of standard culture plates. A ribbon cable connector provides access to the field stimulating electrodes. [...]

C-Stretch Interested in studing the effects of mechanical conditioning and electrical pacing on developing tissue? IonOptix culture pacing systems can now be equipped with our patented* C-Stretch, allowing simultaneous electrical and mechanical stimulation of stem cell-derived myocytes in culture. Normal cardiac tissue develops from immature cells grown under mechanical load and electrical activity. Grow your cells under physiologic conditions with our C-Stretch, the first commercial system to offer both electromechanical cues simultaneously! [...]

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 [...]
