MyoTak is a biocompatible, cellular adhesive designed specifically for use with the SI-CTS Cell Tester, a revolutionary new research tool to facilitate mechanical cellular investigation.
MyoTak provides a method of securely attaching a single living cells,
such as a cardiac myocyte, to research tools without damage to the cell.
MyoTak
is sold in packages with five vials of 20μL aliquots each. With daily
testing, this supply will last six weeks. MyoTak has an added dye for
easier viewing under a microscope.
Pre-coat
Pre-coat
is included with each MyoTak order. The pre-coat is applied to smooth
surfaces, like glass rods, to roughen the surface and increase adhesion
of the MyoTak glue to the surface. The pre-coat is an aggregate that is
suspended in an aqueous solution, so it needs to be placed on a vortex
before it is used. The pre-coat can be stored in its capped tube at room
temperature for up to 2 months. Each tube contains enough pre-coat to
perform more than 20 days of experiments when about 1.5µL of pre-coat is
used each day.
