Cardiomyocyte Cells

Empower your cardiac safety screening with accurate label-free functional imaging

Models

Primary cardiomyocytes culture
Human induced pluripotent stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes
Explanted heart tissue

Advantages

The rise of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs)-derived cardiomyocytes brings a promising new dimension to cardiac safety assays, a mandatory step in the development of new drugs.

With thousands of simultaneously recording electrodes, our single-well HD-MEAs and CorePlate™ multiwells can record cardiac cell rhythm and other parameters, such as QT-interval duration, contraction (beat) period, signal amplitude, and propagation velocity at an unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution by providing:

Label-free, non-invasive functional monitoring of cardiac cells’ electrical activity
High sampling rate (20 kHz) and high spatial resolution for a more accurate and detailed description of the cardiac signal propagation
Kinetic functional assay to observe culture development over days to weeks, suitable for long-term cardiac toxicology studies
High statistical significance of the waveform parameters

The BioCAM offers, for the first time, recordings at a scale that allow validation of models of neuronal population activity. This is a major step that will drive, in turn, the development of theories in neuroscience.

Our laboratory works on brain experimental recordings and modeling on multiple scales, from molecular/cellular to whole brain in animals and humans. The use of BioCAM X integrates perfectly into the workflow as it allows a unique set of measurements on distributed network activities.

The BioCAM has revolutionized the way we look at population activity in the retina. With its overall large size and spatial resolution, it allows us to study population behaviour at unprecedented spatial and temporal detail.
