Cardiac Calcium Imaging Services
Cardiac calcium imaging provides a functional readout of intracellular calcium dynamics that underpin excitation–contraction coupling and rhythm stability in cardiac systems. It enables quantitative comparison across conditions at both cellular and tissue-like levels.
SparkMind offers cardiac calcium imaging services to support cardiovascular research and early discovery programs. Our service framework emphasizes standardized experimental conditions, interpretable metrics, and clear data visualization for study decision-making.
Supported Cell and Tissue Models
- Primary rodent cardiomyocytes
- Neonatal rodent cardiomyocyte cultures
- Organoid-style cardiac models (project dependent)
Typical Applications
- Quantification of calcium transient dynamics and beat-to-beat stability
- Comparative evaluation of compound effects on calcium handling (exploratory)
- Functional phenotyping of rhythm-related changes under experimental perturbations
- Mechanistic support for targets impacting excitation–contraction coupling
Cardiac Calcium Imaging Service Scope
- Study design aligned to objectives (baseline, stimulation/pacing where applicable, and treatment comparisons)
- Standardized imaging, data processing, and quality control
- Clear visualization (representative traces and group-level summaries)
- Structured reporting for internal review and research decision-making
- Customization discussed on a project-by-project basis
