microHeart
Structured Cardiomyocytes for High-Throughput Screening
The StemoniX microHeart platform provides a structured environment for human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived cardiac cells.
In microHeart 2.5D, cells passively align into a physiologically relevant structure that closely represents human heart tissue.
Cardiac cells structured on microHeart 2.5D plates resemble heart tissue alignment, while standard flat cultureware results in a
random arrangement.
In microHeart 3D, cardiomyocytes are structured into cardiospheres with uniform, synchronized beating.
microHeart provides:
-
Increased expression of key cardiac physiology genes
-
Enhanced organization of sarcomeres
-
Distal intercalated discs aligned perpendicularly to fibers
-
Coherent directionality of contraction
-
Improved calcium handling
microHeart Cell Ready and Assay Ready products provide an ideal model for cardiotoxicity and cardiac safety studies, high-throughput screening, and drug discovery. The microHeart platform can be customized to suit your discovery needs.
