For investigating isotonic contractions (changes in tissue length) of isolated muscles and measuring small displacements in physiological preparations. Typically used to study the contractile/relaxation effects of drugs.
Perfect for studies using extremely small and fast muscle fibers. Set up a comprehensive system by adding our data acquisition system, organ baths, electrodes and stimulators.

Before ordering, check the connection compatibility of your amplifier/recording system.
The Isometric & Isotonic Transducers are normally supplied with a connector designed for Ugo Basile Data-Capsule-Evo Recorder (see datasheet).
If the customer wishes to make use of other recording apparatus, the transducers can be supplied with appropriate connectors on request: we will be glad to provide transducer with different connectors, if available, or to provide wiring information and instruction.
In addition to the one-year Regular Warranty and in addition to the one-year product registration extended warranty, Ugo Basile offers an Optional Extended Warranty that extends the warranty period for the product for additional one or two years called “UB Care12”/“UB Care24”. Customers may purchase the “UB Care” at the maximum of 3 months after buying. For more detailed information, please contact your local representatives.
