The revolutionary Cell Tester SI-CTS200 is a new research tool for cellular investigation that can (without any changes) be used for one single living cell, for a small multi-cellular preparation and for single or larger skinned muscle strip preparations. Translational experiments from the single living cells to the intact multi-cellular level can be accomplished.
The Cell Tester offers:
Integral microtweezer apparatus that facilitates cellular attachment
Two integrated piezo manipulators are included
Bio-compatible adhesive (MyoTak™) included
Unique rotational stage that allows for easy cellular alignment, improved experimental throughput (shown in the image above)
Ultra-quiet force transducer included
Linear displacement motor stretches or compresses cells with 25nm precision
Fits ANY inverted microscope
Use native cuvette or ANY 35mm glass bottom dish
Our results suggest that enhanced contractile activity promotes the expression of the slow phenotype predetermined in satellite cells of slow-twitch, type I fibers.
stimulation enhanced the mRNA and protein expression of a developmental isoform of slow myosin (MHCI).
"Limb Movements
This piezo-electric
sensor is placed on the
ankle to detect movements of
the feet during sleep. For investigation
of restless leg syndrome (RLS) and periodic
limb movements (PLM)."
The pre-calibrated amplifier eliminates the need to calibrate with weights.
The system includes base, vertical support, bath support, micromanipulator block, micro- manipulator handle, muscle supports rods, 1 pr/feet for rings, 25 μm and 100 μm Stainless Steel (3 m), 1 pr/hooks, 20 clips for strips, single myograph bath and the TRN001 transducer.
