1200A in vitro Muscle Test System

Complete test system for evaluating the mechanical characteristics of intact muscle with peak forces of up to 0.5N or 1N. The muscle preparation is held vertically in a water-jacketed bath. Both force and length are controlled and measured with this system. Length-tension, force-velocity, force-stimulation frequency, stiffness and work loop protocols can all be measured with this system.

300C Muscle Lever

300C Muscle Lever
For the measurement of the dynamic physical properties of all types of muscle and connective tissue. In addition to biological specimens, they can also be used to evaluate natural and synthetic polymers, fibres, films and coatings.
