Sarcometrics provides pre-clinical evaluation of candidate pharmaceuticals, compounds, proteins and peptides in cardiac muscle.
Functional Phenotype
We deliver cardiac functional phenotype at the whole heart, myocardial tissue, and single myocyte levels.
Evaluate Myosin Kinetics within the Muscle
We evaluate myosin crossbridge detachment rate using mechanical perturbation methods in intact or skinned muscle preparations.
End-Systolic Elastance
We mimic the pressure-volume relationship using force-feedback control of muscle length of cardiac slices. The cardiac slice allows for visualization of sarcomere length and direct evaluation of length-dependent activation and the Frank-Starling response.
