RTCA Cardio system is a high-resolution system, utilizing non-invasive impedance readout for real time monitoring of functional beating activity of cardiomyocytes in the wells of E-Plate Cardio 96. The application range of the xCELLigence system will be extended to the important field of preclinical cardiac safety assessment, cardiac drug screening and basic research.
The RTCA Cardio Instrument is composed of four main components:
- RTCA Cardio Station
- RTCA Cardio Analyzer
- RTCA Cardio Control Unit
- E-Plate Cardio 96
RTCA Cardio Instrument Highlights:
- Real-time: short and long-term assay
- High throughput: conduct assay on E-Plate Cardio 96
- Dual-mode:
- RTCA mode --- determination of cell growth status over the assay time
- Cardio mode --- observation of cardiac beating activity over the assay time
