Stand-Alone Instruments
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
BMSEED’s stand-alone modules offer specialized tools for electrophysiology, cell stretching, and imaging, tailored for customizable research needs. The Electrophysiology Module supports up to 120 channels for precise recording and stimulation. The Cell Stretching Module enables high-strain rates and adaptable strain profiles, ideal for various biological applications. The Imaging Module provides optical and fluorescence capabilities, allowing real-time cell analysis during stretching. Each module can operate independently or combine with others, supporting a modular approach for complex experiments in mechanotransduction, neurotrauma research, and tissue engineering.
