Aurora Scientific’s stimulators include an electrical and mechanical device utilized for muscle and/or nerve stimulation as well as mechanical stimulation for somatosensory research. Aurora’s high-powered, bi-phase electrical stimulator is designed to meet the specific needs of muscle researchers by delivering the power and flexibility you need for the most demanding of field stimulation protocols as well as the precision required for in-vivo nerve and muscle stimulation. Aurora’s electrical stimulator is integrated into Complete Muscle Systems that measure intact muscle tissue function and can also be employed as a stand-alone instrument for electrophysiology and engineered tissues, among others.

Aurora Scientific’s mechanical stimulator is an automated electronic von Frey device used in mechanosensation and nociception research with the added capability to measure and control both force and length at a single application point. The indenter takes the variability and awkwardness out of applying force with a handheld von Frey filament or with other handheld mechanical stimulators. Our computer-controlled mechanical stimulator removes the unavoidable hand tremor, and thus force application, associated with both von Frey filaments and other electronic von Frey systems.
