Muscle Physiology

Muscle Physiology

Aurora Scientific systems precisely measure and control the mechanical properties of muscle—from isolated fibers to whole muscle groups. Using Dual-Mode levers, length controllers, and sensitive force transducers, researchers can perform twitch, tetanus, fatigue, force-frequency in addition to dynamics contractions such as eccentric, isotonic and work-loop protocols with reproducible accuracy. These tools define complete force–length–velocity relationships and reveal key principles of contractile function.

Neuroscience Applications

Neuroscience

Aurora Scientific provides advanced tools for exploring neural response, sensory processing, and neuromuscular interaction. Olfactometry systems validate odor stimuli and map pheromone dispersion, while Dual-Mode levers act as mechanical stimulators to measure neuronal response to touch, stretch, and pain. These solutions help researchers investigate neural activation, regeneration, and feedback mechanisms in health and disease.

Materials Science

Bridging biology and engineering, Aurora Scientific instruments deliver unmatched precision for mechanical testing of advanced materials. Dual-Mode levers and force transducers quantify tensile strength, elasticity, and fracture properties in hydrogels, MEMS, and artificial muscle. With ultra-low compliance and high-speed control, these systems power innovation in biomaterials and soft robotics research.
