The CytoMotion Lite system is a low-cost solution offering fast, real-time characterization of contractility kinetics from stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes Acquiring contractility kinetics in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) derived cardiomyocytes can be especially challenging given their amorphous phenotype and poorer contrast relative to adult ventricular cardiomyocytes. We've made capturing contractility simple and easy. CytoMotion Lite System is a low-cost, simplified [...]

A multi-mode, multi-channel system for mechanical stretching and electrical stimulation of tissue and cells The new IonOptix Culture Pacing System is a multi-mode, multi-channel system for mechanical stretching and/or electrical stimulation of tissue and stem cells. It can be used with our C-Stretch for simultaneous stretch and stimulation or with our C-Dish electrode assemblies and standard culture dishes for electrical stimulation alone. The Culture Pacing System uses [...]

A complete data acquisition system for diameter & fluorescence measurements, as well as flow characterization in pressurized vessels We have equipped our Blood Vessel System for simultaneous measurements of pressurized blood vessel fluorescence and diameter.  By visualizing the blood vessel on the microscope, IonOptix’ new vessel-specific dimensioning software, VesAcq, can track the outer and/or luminal diameters, wall thickness and cross-sectional area of the blood vessel from the digitized frame while [...]

Record Force from Isolated Cardiac Myocytes! IonOptix is proud to announce the release of our next generation MyoStretcher System, which now uses our revolutionary New Optical Force Transducer, the OptiForce. Designed specifically for force measurement in cardiomyocytes, it is now the most sensitive system on the market for measuring isolated myocyte force! Easily measure ESFLR and EDFLR. We’ve developed the MyoStretcher with a focus on simplicity, ease-of-use, and [...]

The Multicell High Throughput System is an advanced, fully-automated solution for identification and mechanical phenotype quantification of hundreds of myocytes per hour. The MultiCell HTS system offers high-speed, high-content mechanical myocyte data acquisition from hundreds of myocytes per hour by using our automated cell finding image analysis method. The system includes a fast x-y-z position programmable scanning microscope which can mark and find position, size, focus and orientation [...]
