The Muscle Strip Myograph System - 820MS represents a state-of-the-art 4-channel myograph system for muscle strips of up to 19 mm in length. The system was originally developed to give the skeletal muscle physiologist a highly sophisticated, easy-to-use, robust, high-throughput muscle myograph. The rectangular design of the chamber, however, gives this system the flexibility to mount larger, longer muscle strips of various organs, including larger segments of smooth muscle. 

Each muscle bath unit, made of aluminium, features a rectangular stainless steel chamber. The tissue clamp supports are positioned in the chamber, where one side is attached to the force transducer and the other side to a positioner screw. The positioners allow the accurate setting of preload while sensitive force transducers allow provide measurement of isometric muscle contractions. Force output is available as an unfiltered or filtered analog signal or in digital format via a USB connection.
