iPS-derived cardiomyocyte contraction measurement system FLEXcyte 96
FLEXcyte 96
The Langeendorff method has been transformed into the latest high-throughput technology, allowing for the measurement of contractile force in cardiomyocytes under physiological conditions similar to the natural environment of cardiac tissue.
The FLEXcyte 96, which transforms the conventional Langendorff method into the latest high-throughput technology, can measure the contractile force (mN/mm²) of cardiomyocytes for cardiotoxicity and safety evaluation, as well as drug screening, under physiological conditions similar to the native cardiac tissue environment, without missing even slight responses to cytotoxicity, regardless of whether in the chronic or acute phase, simultaneously in 96 wells. ■ Simultaneous measurement in 96 wells ■ Label-free measurement ■ Long-term monitoring possible ■ Optical pacing (optional) ■ Comes with an incubation system (temperature, humidity, CO2 control) ■ Includes multifunctional excellent data analysis and graphing software ■ Validated human iPS cells: iCell, iCell², AXOL CM, Cardiosight-S, MiraCell Cardiomyocytes, etc. ■ Compact desktop size: W20.5 x D18 x H11.7cm / 3.5kg (main unit)

basic information
Measurement of Contraction Force in Cardiomyocytes Using FLEXcyte96 The FLEXcyte membrane plate features a silicon membrane at the bottom of a 96-well plate that is less than 10μm thick. 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.
