CM-MEA ASSAY
• Direct – Multi-site field potentials derive from
electrophysiological activity in a cardiac network,
tracking the events that lead to arrhythmia.
• Comprehensive – Unbiased assay captures
unknown effects from sub-cellular to network- and
organ-level.
• Expandable – CM-MEA assay provides a pathway
for precise mechanism identification and functional
manipulation.
