Myographs Benefits
Benefits We offer a modular range of myograph systems. Modular Available in single (MYO1), dual (MYO2) or with four myograph modules (emkaMYO4), our systems are integrated and compact and fit on lab bench. emkaMYO setup, easy to install and use with its touchscreen, is particularly adapted for education, while emkaBATH4 answers more complex requirements, with […]
Myographs- Techniques and Measurement
Technique & Measurements Wire myography Wire myography is a technique developed by Mulvany and Halpern1, to record tension of microvessels under isometric condition. Each myograph module has a 5ml bath equipped with two jaws attached respectively to a transducer and to a Vernier positioner. Each jaw holds a piece of tungsten wire on which the […]
Myographs
Wire Myographs emkaMYO2, emkaMYO4 Our myograph systems are used to investigate the functional responses and vascular reactivity of small arteries, veins, lymph vessels and tracheal smooth muscles, with lumen diameter from 100µm to 3mm and segment lengths up to 3.5mm. Wire myography is an ex vivo technique widely used in preclinical research, to examine microvessels […]

emkaBATH Benefits
Benefits Easy to use, emkaBATH systems are modular and highly reproducible. Modular Our setups offer up to four independent baths ranging from 5 to 20 mL, and a wide range of hook shapes (i.e. open and closed triangle, C and L-shaped to accommodate a large variety of isolated tissues strips and (micro)vessels. Microvessels : veins, […]
emkaBATH- Techniques and Measurement
Technique & Measurements Isometric contraction In ex vivo experiments, tissue strips and vessels are studied after isolation from their normal environment. In order to simulate this environment, physiological saline solution is used and experiments are conducted at 37 °C. emkaBATH is used under isometric conditions (i.e. the length of the muscle is kept constant while […]
Tissue baths systems
Tissue bath systems emkaBATH emkaBATH is a tissue bath setup, designed for contractile measures in tissues such as aortic, tracheal, iliac, and papillary muscles, and/or microvessels such as veins, small arteries, and lymph vessels. The system provides heated, oxygenated, and nutrient-rich perfusate to the tissue with or without drug administration and electrical stimulation. Tissue baths […]
isolatedHEART Techniques and Measurement
Techniques & Measurements This page lists techniques and measurements employed bythe isolatedHEART perfusion system. Langendorff perfusion | Working Heart perfusion Download our guide to learn more about the techniques Langendorff heart perfusion mode In the Langendorff heart perfusion mode, the perfusate is pumped through the aorta towards the heart. Because of this retrograde perfusion, the […]
