A flexible test system delivering accurate measurement of large rodent & small animal muscle properties in-situ, in-vivo, and in-vitro. This is ideal for live animal protocols including injury and longitudinal studies, allowing researchers to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of intact muscle of large rodents, either isolated in-situ, with a footplate (ex-vivo) or isolated in-vitro.

The 1400A and 1410A Permeabilized Fiber Systems are designed to enhance experimental throughput and simplify complex permeabilized fiber experiments. They provide accurate measurements of fiber properties across a broad range of applications and tests.

With numerous configurations, the Isolated Muscle Systems (1500A, 1510A and 1530A) are highly integrated, turnkey systems providing physiology researchers a simple way to control and measure intact muscle and physiological small tissue samples.

The 1600A Permeabilized Myocyte Test System is designed to streamline contractile property testing in skinned myocytes. A large cell mounting area provides ample room for cell attachment while push button controlled motorized stages simplify cell attachment to a high-speed servo motor and our 400 series precision force transducers.

The 1700A Myofibril System is the first commercially available myofibril system specifically designed to measure the nano-Newton forces arising from activation of single myofibrils. This is a complete test system, including all hardware required to characterize myofibril contraction.

The 150A Integrated Muscle Test Controller is a new family of integrated instruments which combine a standard Aurora Scientific 300C Series Dual-Mode Lever System, 701C Stimulator and USB Data Acquisition hardware into one standard-sized enclosure.  The 150A eliminates all external signal cables since all inputs and outputs between the software and the instruments are made internally in the enclosure.

The 300C series of muscle levers allow the mechanical properties of a number of muscle types and sizes to be characterized. Models are available for small force measurements up to 0.5N with a resolution of 0.3mN (e.g. mouse diaphragm strip or soleus), up to a maximum force measurement of 100N with a resolution of 10mN (e.g. dog hind limb).

The 315D and 322D High-Speed Length Controllers gives physiologists the ability to control and measure length of single cells, fibers and whole muscle with ease. Highly sensitive motors allow complete automated control of length measurements of a vast number of biological specimens such as skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle, connective tissue, and compliant tissue.

The 400C series of isometric force transducers enables contractile measurements from a variety of muscle types and sizes and are designed to meet the needs of muscle researchers. Each model is capable of measuring force in both tension and compression. These transducers are more robust and have less compliance than typical semi-conductor strain gauges.

The 701C is a high-powered, bi-phase stimulator designed to meet the specific needs of muscle researchers. Regardless of solution composition, electrode size or electrode spacing, the 701C will deliver the power and flexibility you need for the most demanding of field stimulation protocols.

Aurora Scientific Test Apparatus are precision designed and engineered for specific functional studies of muscle units, whether in-vivo, in-vitro, or in-situ protocols.  Test Apparatus are designed for specific cell type and assay, and can be combined with Dual-mode Levers, Force-transducers, and other control units to create multi-functional systems.

Custom designed and tailored for Muscle Physiology, Function, and therapeutic/disease models, Aurora Scientific data acquisition and analysis software gives you everything you need to plan and execute the most demanding experiments.

The High-Speed Video Sarcomere Length (HVSL) system provides high-speed, accurate sarcomere length measurement from a live video image. The software provides dynamic tracking of sarcomere length within the image which ensures that, as the tissue moves and contracts, the same sarcomeres will always be used for the calculation.

Our 950A is a complete calcium contractility system including light source, optics, photomultipliers and twitch-based software.  The 955A FluoroTrack Calcium Fluorescence Software is a powerful solution that enables physiology researchers to easily measure intracellular calcium along with tissue length, force and sarcomere length.
