Device for the multiple and simultaneous evaluation of the contractile activity of pharmacological substances using optical methods

Health Sciences

Device for the multiple and simultaneous evaluation of the contractile activity of pharmacological substances using optical methods characterized by the use of multi-well plates or equivalents and a digital image acquisition module for monitoring and quantifying pharmacological activity. The preparations are thermostatically controlled, and the system incorporates processing algorithms that allow for the simultaneous quantification of contractile activity.

Competitive advantage

Unlike conventional methods, it does not require force or displacement transducers to quantify contractile activity.

Its application drastically reduces the time required to obtain results.
