1400A - Permeabilized Fiber Test System
Complete test system for evaluating the mechanical characteristics of permeabilized fibers with peak forces of up to 100mN. The test apparatus fits on an inverted microscope which allows for observation and fluorescence measurement. The bath plate contains 8 wells for different calcium concentrations. The motorized translation system moves the bath plate relative to the fiber. Both force and length are controlled and measured with this system. kTR, pCa-force, length-tension, force-velocity, and stiffness can all be measured with this system.
