The Cardiac Module with AxIS Navigator software turns every researcher into an MEA expert. Take control of experimental settings, view real-time cardiac activity, and extract straightforward analytic metrics. Record and analyze the four key measures of cardiac function, including action potential, field potential, propagation, and contractility.

Assay Setup

• Assay setup is a breeze with pre-configured settings for acquisition and analysis, while allowing fast access to advanced settings as experimental needs require.
• Easily referenced color-coded plate maps provide all the information about your experiment in real-time and can be imported and exported directly to and from Microsoft Excel® .
• For more control over your assay, pace cardiomyocytes electrically or optically. Stimulation Studio in AxIS Navigator makes it easy to quickly design stimulation protocols with a drag-and-drop interface.

Real-time Data Visualization

• View real-time cardiac data from each electrode in a well or plate-wide activity for a broader picture.
• The Cardiac Dashboard displays the cardiac waveform for each electrode as well as propagation maps, beat period stability displays, Poincaré plots, and contractility maps.

Data Analysis Tools

• The Cardiac Module also includes access to a range of specialized software analysis tools for advanced analysis and figure generation.
• The Cardiac Analysis Tool enables precise assessment of field potentials and LEAP as well as automated arrhythmia detection and classification. The tool automatically generates a PDF report containing experimental results for field potentials and LEAP.
• The AxIS Metric Plotting Tool allows rapid visualization of experimental results and organization of endpoints according to treatment condition. This tool imports the results from AxIS Navigator and the Cardiac Analysis Tool to calculate differences between recordings, average replicates, and generate plots. View different endpoints with a single click, facilitating rapid data exploration.
