Activity of cardiomyocytes in a culture plate can be measured without invasion.
Result is displayed in real time in a waveform, and number of beats and contraction time are automatically detected with a single button. Built-in temperature control and plate moving mechanism. It is small and lightweight making it ideal for personal use.
Applications:
- Count of number of beats of cultured cardiomyocytes (without staining)
- Measurement of contraction time (without staining)
- Simple measurement of action potential using voltage-sensitive dye
- Confirmation of differentiation of iPS-derived cardiomyocytes
- Cardiotoxicity assay for new drug candidate
Main Features:
- Automatic detection of cardiomyocyte beating and contraction timewithout fluorescent dye and electrode
- If the built-in fluorescence filter is used, it is possible to do simple membrane potential measurement using voltage sensitive dye such as Di-4-ANEPPS.
