  • Patent number: 11725170
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a biocompatible, in vitro probe system. The probe system may have a substrate and a culture well supported on the substrate. The culture well defines a three-dimensional volume for containing in vitro cultures of electroactive cells. The probe system has at least one probe subsystem supported on the substrate. The probe subsystem has at least one probe having an array of electrodes, with the probe being disposed within the culture well for in vitro electrically communicating with the electroactive cells. The probe subsystem is adapted to be interfaced to an external instrumentation/recording device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 7, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2023

  • Publication number: 20170254795
    Abstract: Disclosed here is a cardiac platform, comprising a substrate layer comprising a substrate and a plurality of micro-strain gauges and a plurality of microelectrodes disposed on the substrate, a patterned layer disposed on the substrate layer which insulates the micro-strain gauges and exposes the microelectrodes, and a plurality of pillars disposed on the patterned layer. Also disclosed is a method for detecting electrophysiology and contractility of cardiac cells or tissues, comprising providing a cardiac platform that further comprises cardiac cells or tissues disposed on the pillars, and detecting electrophysiology of the cardiac cells or tissues using the microelectrodes and detecting contraction force of the cardiac cells or tissues using the micro-strain gauges.
