SI-H Muscle Tester Basic

A study device called SI-H Standard Muscle Research combines mechanical and optical recording of whole muscles and dissected muscle fibers.

On a single-piece platform, it performs physical force measuring operations. With the basic system, a user can complete at least four research tasks:

• Studying the responses of intact muscles as well as those to stimulation and tetanus is made possible by measuring the mechanical characteristics of muscles that are contracting and relaxing.
• Contraction time, viscosity at 50% contraction, and other parameters are measured during a contraction.
• In order to assess the mechanical characteristics of muscle fibers, a linear motor must be connected to a control unit. These characteristics include sagging, isotonic relaxation, relaxation viscosity, vibration testing, post-load contractions, and eccentric contractions.
• Sarcomere lengths can be measured simultaneously using a laser diode.

Features:

• Small platform and cost-effective design.
• Collecting and analyzing data
• Controlled heating from 30 to 42 ºC and optional cooling to 5 ºC
• Design flexibility and modularity
• Construction with stainless steel (stainless steel, anodised aluminium, plastic)
• Mounting preparation accessory kit
• Tub has two chambers for preparation and oxygenating the perfusion solution
• Accessories include a stimulator, a thermostatic perfusion solution reservoir, a binocular microscope, and a vacuum system for changing solutions.

Accessories

• Cuvettes for perfusion and simultaneous optical detection
• Laser diode
• Software controlled stimulator
• Detachable binocular microscope (for mounting and dissection)
• Control panel to operate the system with your ADC
• Compatible with KG series mechanical sensors
