In response to the need for more predictive preclinical assays for cardiac liability, ACEA Biosciences, Inc. has introduced its next generation Cardio System, the xCELLigence RTCA CardioECR System. Building on the success of the impedance-only RTCA Cardio System, the new RTCA CardioECR system combines impedance and Multi Electrode Array (MEA) technology with a pacing function. RTCA CardioECR is the first platform to allow simultaneous cardiomyocyte contractility and field potential measurement. The system is designed to be placed in a standard…
