INTRODUCTION
The Muscle Strip Myograph System - 820MS represents the rst state-of-the-art 4-channel myograph system for muscle strips
of up to 15 mm in length. DMT developed this system for simultaneous measurement of up to 4 isolated muscle preparations,
mounted as strips, between clamp supports. Several types of mounting supports exist, depending on the user’s preferences.
Customized mounting supports can be made upon request. In addition, because of the somewhat rectangular chamber, the
myograph also can be used for the study of larger strips from other organs, including larger, longer strips of smooth muscle.
Stimulation electrodes are available (optional). The electrodes are built into the chamber cover and can be used to activate the
muscle via eld stimulation from a pulse/train stimulator, such as the DMT CS200.
The muscle bath unit is constructed of aluminum, while the centrally located rectangular chamber is stainless steel for easy
cleaning. The segment clamp supports are positioned in the chamber with one side attached to a force transducer and the other
side to a micro-manipulator. The micromanipulators permit the accurate setting of passive tension (which correlates with muscle
length) while the sensitive force transducers measure the developed isometric muscle tension during stimulation. Each unit has
individually controlled gas inow and suction. The system is automatically heated to a set temperature, up to 45° C.
Following mounting and equilibration, the optimal pre-load or passive tension for the muscle can be determined. The length of
the muscle is kept constant during the experiment; thereby any contractions measured from the isolated, mounted muscle strip
will be examined under isometric conditions. Compounds can be added directly to the chamber, and muscle tension can be
monitored to evaluate the chronotropic or inotropic effects of the compound. If desired, the buffer can be sampled for metabolic
factors during and after muscle contraction(s).
This myograph is well-suited for high-throughput analysis of muscle reactivity, especially when multiple units are arranged
conveniently side-by-side. The 820MS is ideal for drug development and testing related to striated muscle, as well as for
experiments where comparing multiple muscle samples from control and treated or gene-modied animals is required. The
multitude of data generated from the force transducers can be captured through external data acquisition via either calibrated
(ltered) or uncalibrated (unltered) analog outputs or in digital format via a serial connection.

SAFETY
The Muscle Strip Myograph System - 820MS has been designed for use in teaching and research only. It is not intended for clinical
or critical life-care use and should never be used for these purposes. The 820MS also should not be used for the prevention,
diagnosis, curing, treatment, or alleviation of disease, injury, or handicap. The following are other safety concerns of note:
• Do not open the unit; the internal electronics pose a risk of electric shock.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
• To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. Objects lled with liquids should
not be placed on the system.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other items that produce heat.
• Only use attachments and accessories specied by the manufacturer.
• Unplug this system during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Be advised that different operating voltages require the use of different types of line cord and attachment plugs. Check the
voltage in your area and use the correct type. See the table below:
Voltage Line plug according to standard
110–125 V UL81 and CSA C22.2 No. 42
220–230 V CEE 7 page VII, SR section 107-2-D1/IEC 83, page C4
240 V BS 1363 of 1984 Specication for 13A fused plugs and switched and
unswitched socket outlets.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched: particularly at power plugs and the point where they connect to the
apparatus.
Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way; such
as, the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has spilled onto or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

EMC / EMI
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception (which can
be determined by monitoring the interference while turning the equipment off and on), the user is encouraged to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different to that which the receiver is connected to.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
