1305A - Intact Muscle/Whole Rat Test System
Ideal for live animal protocols including injury and longitudinal studies. Complete test system for evaluating the mechanical characteristics of intact muscle of rats, either isolated in situ, with a footplate (ex vivo) or isolated in vitro. Peak forces of up to 10N or peak torques of up to 40N-cm. For in situ and ex vivo (footplate) experiments the rat rests prone on a heated limb platform with clamps for affixation. For in vitro experiments the muscle preparation is held horizontally in a water heated bath plate. Both force and length are controlled and measured with this system. Length-tension, force-velocity, force-frequency, stiffness, fatigue and work loop protocols can all be measured with this system.
