Isometric Force Transducers, TRI Series
TRI Series Force Transducers (isometric) measure the force of contraction of isolated tissues under conditions of constant force. Isometric Transducers are classically used in Organ Bath experiments with muscles with short/rapid contractions such as tracheal muscle, atrium, papillary muscle, aortic rings, veins or other vessel rings.
The Transducers are equipped with a special system allowing an easy and rapid fixation of the thread that tightens upper side of the tissue in an organ bath. TRI Series Transducers are appropriate for various load ranges from simple applications to those requiring detection of very small forces.
