System setup
Daily preparation, instrument components, basic operation and practical setup routines.
Myograph Training / Installation
Hands-on DMT myograph training tailored to your system, preparation and workflow
DMT provides customizable training for new and existing users. Product specialists guide your team through system principles, setup, maintenance, dissection, mounting, normalization, experimental design and functional myograph experiments.
Customizable content
Matched to the system, tissue and research objective.
Hands-on practice
Dissection, mounting and functional experiments.
Onsite format
Example two-day laboratory training program.
Practical training with DMT specialists
Training can include
Build the course around the laboratory’s actual system and research needs
Training can be adapted to the instrument configuration, preparation type, application area, planned protocols and the participants’ existing level of myograph experience.
Dissection and mounting
Guided preparation handling and mounting practice for the selected tissue type.
Functional experiments
Normalization, wake-up procedures, concentration-response curves and drug testing.
Maintenance awareness
Routine care, calibration awareness and practices that support reliable daily use.
Application discussion
Experimental design and workflow guidance related to the laboratory’s research aims.
Training pathway
From system introduction to independent experimental use
A structured training pathway helps users connect instrument understanding, preparation technique and experimental procedures into a reproducible daily workflow.
Understand
Review system principles, the experimental purpose and the fit between the instrument and preparation.
Prepare
Learn system setup, calibration awareness and practical daily routines before mounting tissue.
Mount
Practice dissection, tissue handling and mounting with direct technique guidance.
Run
Perform normalization, wake-up procedures and selected functional experiments.
Maintain
Review system care, troubleshooting awareness and long-term reliability practices.
Why training matters
Move from instrument installation to confident experimental use
Myograph data quality depends on more than the instrument. Preparation handling, mounting technique, normalization, experimental design and system care all influence reproducibility.
Understand the instrument
Learn the system components, daily preparation, calibration routines and practical setup required before starting an experiment.
Improve preparation handling
Receive guided practice with dissection, mounting and tissue handling techniques relevant to the selected preparation.
Run structured experiments
Connect normalization, wake-up procedures, concentration-response curves and pharmacological testing into one coherent workflow.
Protect system performance
Learn routine care and maintenance practices that help keep the myograph calibrated and ready for laboratory use.
Example program
Example onsite two-day myograph training program
The schedule below illustrates how standard sessions can be combined into a practical two-day course. Final content can be adapted to the DMT system, tissue preparation and research aims.
System and preparation foundation
Establish the theoretical and practical foundation required before participants perform independent experiments.
- Background and experimental design Principles behind myograph studies and how the instrument connects with the planned research question.
- System features and setup Instrument components, daily setup, calibration awareness and preparation before experiments.
- Dissection and mounting demonstration Preparation handling and mounting workflow demonstrated by the DMT specialist.
Functional workflow and system care
Move from guided preparation practice to functional experiments and the routines required for reliable long-term use.
- Hands-on dissection and mounting Practical user training with direct guidance and correction of handling and mounting technique.
- Functional experiment Normalization, wake-up protocol, concentration-response curve and selected drug testing.
- Maintenance and system care Routine care, calibration awareness, troubleshooting principles and long-term reliability practices.
Configure the course
Information DMT needs to plan the training
The most useful training programs are based on the laboratory’s actual instrument, preparation, level of experience and planned experimental endpoint.
Sharing this information before quotation helps DMT define the course content, duration, preparation requirements and practical exercises.
The availability of specific tissue preparations, reagents and
laboratory consumables should be agreed before the training date.
DMT system model
Identify the myograph, pressure myograph, organ bath or muscle
system included in the training.
Tissue preparation
State the species, tissue type, vessel or muscle size and the
intended mounting method.
Research endpoint
Describe the planned measurements, protocols, compounds and
experimental questions.
Participant experience
Explain whether participants are new users, experienced
researchers or a mixed group.
Number of participants
Provide the expected group size so that the practical training
can be planned appropriately.
Location and timing
Include the laboratory location, preferred dates and whether
installation support is also required.
