Hugo Sachs Elektronik announces precision electrodes for the measurement of monophasic action potentials (MAP) in isolated heart preparations
Cardiac electrophysiology, especially recording of MAP, requires measurement electrodes of the highest quality and stability.
A common problem with MAP measurements is the inconsistent force with which the electrodes contact the myocardium as the heart beats.
Hugo Sachs Elektronik solves this problem using an exclusive reactive tension system.
As the heart contracts and relaxes, the recording surface of the electrode is allowed to move freely and in phase with the beating heart.
A fully adjustable follower arm maintains a consistent and repeatable return force.
When coupled with Hugo Sacks Elektronik Mini Ball Joint Holders for precise positioning, these MAP electrodes permit uninterrupted electrical and physical contact without undue resistance during the cardiac cycle.
The result is sustained MAP recordings of high fidelity and exceptional stability.
