There are several benefits to chronic electrical stimulation.  The rationale, however, is always the same: treat the cells in a manner consistent with their native environment.  Like using proper maintenance media and incubation, chronic culture pacing will help induce and/or maintain phenotype over time.  The C-Pace EP can be configured with up to 8 channels and electrode assemblies for common 4-, 6-, and 8-well culture dishes are available.  Our chronic pacers have been used to culture a variety of cells that are electrically coupled in vivo, including smooth and striated muscle.  They've also been used to facilitate the differentiation of stem cells.  Looking for a better way to culture cells?  Try the  C-Pace EP.
