Plastic can be as glossy as glass but, unlike glass, it is hydrophobic – it repels water. If water does not flow smoothly over the surface, the mirroring chemicals will not deposit evenly. There are two ways to overcome this problem: You can flood the surface with so much water (or mirroring chemicals) that the beads merge into a smooth sheet. This technique works best using our mirror bath technique where the object to be mirrored is submerged in the chemicals. It is only practical for small objects. You can use a wetting agent (a type of surfactant) to break the surface tension on the plastic before you apply the mirroring chemicals. There are many types of plastic and each type has its own chemistry and surface characteristics. We have tested our Wetting Agent on some types of acrylic, polycarbonate and polyurethane. We have not tested it on all types of plastic. You should test it on a sample of your substrate to confirm that it works. See Cleaning and Polishing for more information on wetting agents.

iWorx offers 4-channel (M4) or single-channel (M1) Myograph systems from Radnoti Glass Technology. These systems are designed for researchers performing contractile force studies on small ring samples with sizes ranging from 60 mm to over 1 mm in diameter. Examples include mouse aortic rings and small intestinal ring samples as well as micro-vessel preparations like mesenteric arteries.The Myograph systems include myograph chambers with transducers and amplifiers, a base with sliding wrist rest, temperature controllers, stands, tubing kits and all other essential items to conduct an experiment.iWorx offers a myograph normalization module (LS-20NM) which calculates the optimal pretension settings for each sample prior to conducting an experiment.
