Individual Modules of MEASSuRE

The three modules of the complete MEASSuRE system (Mechanics, Imaging, and Electrophysiology) are also available individually.

Each module is available as a stand-alone tool: View Catalog


Electrophysiology Module

  • 120 channel electrophysiology controller

  • 60 channel recording and stimulation (can be upgraded to 120 channels) of electrophysiological activity

  • Stimulation currents from 10 nA - 2.55 mA

  • Analog and digital stimulation triggers

  • Compatible with stretchable microelectrode arrays (sMEAs) and glass microelectrode arrays (gMEAs)

  • Low cost, high performance data acquisition system for electrophysiology

  • Part Number (PN): 11-0000


Mechanics Module

  • Cell stretchers that are customized for specific applications, ranging from neurodegenerative diseases, neurotrauma, tissue engineering, to drug screening

  • Cell stretcher with the highest strain rate on the market

  • Strain rates can be programmed, e.g., to stretch faster than relaxation or vice versa

  • Various strain profiles (radial, linear, custom) can be produced with the same tool with minimal changes

  • Use in an incubator or benchtop

  • Imaging and Electrophysiology Modules can be added at any time

  • Part Number (PN): 13-0000


 Mechanics & Imaging Module

  • Combined Mechanics Module for cell stretching and Imaging Module to verify cell strain

  • Mechanics Modules available for different strains, strain rates and strain profiles (radial, linear, custom)

  • Optical and fluorescence imaging of live cells during stretching motion

  • Customizable optics

  • Electrophysiology Module can be added to complete the MEASSuRE system

  • Part Number (PN): 12-0000


Imaging Upgrades

  • Upgrade from the standard imaging module to higher resolution imaging for certain research applications (e.g. dissociated cell cultures)

  • Image cell and tissue cultures during stretch

  • Up to 16x magnification
