Muscle Data Acquisition Hardware & Software
Complete Systems
600A: Real-Time Muscle Data Acquisition and Analysis System
A precision, real-time controller and data acquisition system for Aurora Scientific apparatus and measurement devices
605A: Dynamic Muscle Data Acquisition and Analysis System
Integrated, Windows based, powerful and complete data acquisition and analysis system handling the entire data collection, control and analysis of muscle contractile experiments
Hardware
The 604A Analog-to-Digital Interface was designed to enable physiology researchers to easily interface a Dual-Mode muscle lever, force transducer, high-speed length controller and stimulator to a National Instruments PC-based A/D card. The 604A Interface consists of a 1U (1.75”) high, 19” wide, rack-mount case with BNC connectors on the front and a ribbon cable connector on the back. 604B and 604D models accommodate four or two setups (respectively), while the 604B also provides integrated stimulator control.
Software
615A: Dynamic Muscle Control and Analysis Software
Dynamic Muscle Control and Analysis Software Suite handles experimental control, data collection and data analysis for muscle contractile experiments
Content for the Muscle Physiologist
Recent Therapeutic Advances in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Models
The following publication review showcases recent studies focused on therapeutic advances in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) that use Aurora Scientific equipment.
Cut and Paste of Myosin Binding Protein-C in Striated Muscles
Dr. Samantha Harris discusses the development of three new mouse models in her lab, engineered to target and replace specific myosin binding protein-C paralogs in muscle fibers and impact of their mutations on skeletal and cardiac muscle diseases.
Integrating Patient Engagement and Trainee Development in Pre-Clinical Research
Christopher Perry, PhD discusses how his laboratory aims to discover mechanisms by which metabolic dysfunction causes muscle weakness and apply these findings to develop new therapies for muscle disorders. Homira Osman, PhD will provide a particular focus on leveraging scientific findings for practice and policy and linking trainees with patient communities.
