This virtual demo will show how to setup and operate Aurora Scientific's 3-in-1 Whole Animal System.
The Aurora Scientific team will provide a methodology focused overview of the 3 main experimental techniques for assessing contractility of whole muscle in murine models using our 3-in-1 Whole Animal System. Best practices from the start of the experiment to the end of data collection for the in-vivo (footplate), in-situ, and in-vitro techniques will be highlighted. This will be supported by video of the experimental surgeries, animal manipulation and preparation, electrode placement, and experimental setup. The pros and cons of each technique as well as experimental design will also be touched upon. A live Q&A will follow upon conclusion of the presentation.
This demo will be exclusively available to those who attend live.
The 1300A is a high performing, precise test system, giving researchers a simple method to test tensile and other mechanical properties of muscle. By combining in-situ, in-vivo and in-vitro muscle tests using one simple platform, researchers can capture a complete picture of muscle physiology in rodent subjects.
