Under physiological conditions, it is possible to measure the actual contractile force of iPS-derived cardiomyocytes.
Measurement of Contraction Force in Cardiomyocytes Using FLEXcyte96 The FLEXcyte membrane plate features a silicon membrane with a thickness of less than 10μm at the bottom of a 96-well plate. When cardiomyocytes are seeded onto the plate, the weight of the culture medium causes the silicon membrane to deflect, and subsequently, dynamic deflection (up and down movement) occurs due to the synchronized beating of the cardiomyocytes. By measuring the changes in deflection with our proprietary Capacitive Distance Sensor, developed in collaboration with innoVitro, it is possible to calculate mechanical stress and measure the actual contraction force under physiological conditions.
