Automated normalization
The 630MA automates the normalization procedure so preload tension and initial experimental conditions can be set in a standardized way after mounting and equilibration.

Why choose 630MA
Designed for standardized vascular reactivity studies with higher throughput
The 630MA is suited for laboratories that need reproducible small-vessel myography, standardized preload conditions and efficient handling of multiple vessel segments in parallel.
Four independent chambers
Four chambers support parallel vessel testing, treatment-control comparisons, concentration-response curves and studies where individual vessels must be tested separately.
Small-vessel and organ bath flexibility
The chamber design supports ring-mounted vessel segments and can also function as a small organ bath for compatible preparations.
Integrated interface functions
Heating, gassing, drainage, force calibration, selectable force range and interface menu control are integrated into the 630MA workflow.
Jaw and pin mounting
The system supports both jaws and pins, making it suitable for a range of vascular preparations and vessel sizes.
Expandable workflow
Multiple units can be arranged side by side and combined with the Buffer Filler System – 625FS for more efficient buffer exchange workflows.
System overview
Automated wire myography with controlled chamber conditions
Once vessels are dissected, cleaned and mounted in the four chambers, each segment is maintained under physiological conditions in acid-resistant stainless-steel chambers.
Temperature is maintained through built-in heating, gas inflow is individually controlled, and buffer drainage is handled through a vacuum connection and built-in manifold.
Automatic normalization
Helps standardize preload tension and initial experimental
conditions.
Integrated heating and gassing
Supports stable physiological chamber conditions.
Built-in drainage manifold
Enables fast buffer removal from individual chambers or all
chambers.
Direct data streaming
USB data communication and analogue output options for
acquisition workflows.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the 630MA
What is the Automated Multi Myograph System 630MA used for?
The 630MA is a 4-channel automated wire myograph designed to measure isometric force in small blood vessels and tissue rings. It combines high-throughput vascular function studies with automated normalization, helping researchers achieve more consistent and reproducible experimental conditions.
What types of vessels can be studied with the 630MA?
The 630MA is designed for small arteries, veins, and other ring-mounted tissue preparations. It supports both jaw and pin mounting, allowing researchers to study vessels from 30 µm to larger vascular and tissue ring preparations depending on the mounting configuration.
What measurements can the Automated Multi Myograph System 630MA perform?
The system measures isometric force, vascular contraction, relaxation, endothelial function, concentration-response curves, and passive length-tension relationships. Four independent chambers allow multiple vessel preparations to be studied simultaneously under controlled conditions.
What is automated normalization, and why is it important?
Normalization determines the optimal passive tension before beginning a wire myography experiment. The 630MA automates this process, helping standardize preload conditions across all four chambers. This improves reproducibility, reduces operator-to-operator variability, and saves valuable setup time in busy laboratories.
Why choose the 630MA over a manual wire myograph?
The 630MA is ideal for laboratories that prioritize standardization, reproducibility, and efficiency. Automated normalization reduces manual setup, while four independent chambers allow researchers to perform treatment-control comparisons, concentration-response studies, and drug screening with greater consistency.
What research applications is the 630MA best suited for?
The 630MA is widely used in vascular physiology, hypertension, diabetes, endothelial dysfunction, vascular pharmacology, atherosclerosis, drug discovery, and small-vessel research where reproducible, high-throughput experiments are essential.
What's the difference between the 630MA and the Multi Myograph 620M?
Both systems feature four independent wire myograph chambers, but the 630MA adds automated normalization, making it ideal for laboratories that require standardized workflows and consistent experimental setup. The 620M uses manual normalization and is well suited for researchers who prefer a traditional wire myography workflow.
Is the Automated Multi Myograph System 630MA the right system for my research?
The 630MA is the best choice if your laboratory performs routine wire myography, runs multiple users or operators, or needs high-throughput, reproducible vascular function studies. If manual normalization meets your workflow needs, the 620M offers the same four-channel format with a more traditional setup.
