Analysis technique
Organ bath system: isometric tension measurement in smooth muscle tissue
Single cell patch clamp recording in smooth muscle cells
Available cells or tissues
Acutely isolated smooth muscle cells: rodent aortic or mesenteric artery cells, guinea pig intestinal cells, rodent uterine cells etc.
Smooth muscle tissues: rodent aortic or mesenteric artery tissue, guinea pig intestinal tissue, rodent uterine tissue etc.
Available analyses

-
Analysis of various voltage-gated ion channels e.g. Ca+, Na+, K+, Cl- ion channels etc. using voltage clamp mode
-
Analysis of membrane excitability by measuring alteration of membrane potential and action potential firing etc. using current clamp mode.
-
Analysis of various ligand-gated ion channels e.g. TRP, ASIC channels etc.
