Cardiac Slice Physiology Kit

$1,569.75

The Cardiac Slice Physiology Kit is designed for researchers preparing live, precision-cut heart slices to study cardiac electrophysiology, contractility, metabolism, and pharmacological responses. Cardiac tissue is dense and metabolically active, demanding careful control of temperature, oxygenation, and mechanical stability during slicing. This kit provides all the specialized accessories to maintain tissue viability and structural integrity, enabling reproducible results for studies in heart failure, arrhythmia modeling, and drug cardiotoxicity. Key features and scientific justifications:
  • The oxygenation attachment maintains oxygen-rich buffer conditions to support continuous aerobic metabolism during slicing.
  • The double-wall buffer tray provides uniform chilling, minimizing ischemic damage and preserving electrical conductivity of cardiac fibers.
  • The autoclavable stainless-steel buffer tray ensures sterile preparation for subsequent molecular or histological assays.
  • Ceramic blades enable exceptionally smooth cuts that preserve the integrity of myocardial fibers and intercalated disks.
  • Sticky spacers stabilize heart tissue in the specimen tube, preventing motion artifacts and ensuring parallel sectioning planes.
  • Fine brushes and forceps support delicate handling of ventricular slices, minimizing mechanical trauma.
  • The magnifying LED assembly enhances visualization of muscle orientation and cutting depth.
