CytoMotion Software

Over the last decade human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), as well as human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), have emerged as a model system complementary to classic approaches, suitable for cardiac disease modelling. These stem cells offer important advantages, the most significant of which owing to their human genetic background. Despite their advantages, they are less mature, more amorphous, and provide poorer contrast. To facilitate measurement of contractility in these challenging cells, we have developed CytoMotion software to acquire hiPSC-CM contractility, enabling analysis of the following critical parameters:

  • Max contraction velocity

  • Time to max contraction velocity

  • Shortening time (time to percent peak)

  • Max return velocity

  • Time to max return velocity

  • Relaxation/relengthening time (time to percent baseline)

  • Beat frequency with variance (requires CytoSolver analysis)

Benefits

  • Precision: owing to high temporal and spatial resolution as well as a simple, robust algorithm, measurements enable better characterization of inotropy and arrhythmogenicity

  • Simplicity: complete system provides all essential components; CytoMotion is easy-to-use allowing users to get more out of every experiment

  • Confidence: label-free measurements mean fewer artifacts, and all systems are backed by our support team of knowledgeable scientists

CytoMotion Software  is available as a simple software upgrade to existing IonOptix Calcium & Contractility or MultiCell systems, or as a part of a complete, turnkey system. If you’re measuring contractility in spontaneously beating myocytes and are not planning on acquiring fluorescence data, we’ve got you covered with our new, low cost CytoMotion Lite System. Whatever your needs, contact us for more information and pricing.
