The analysis of changes in contractile function and cellular integrity of human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes is of immense importance for nonclinical drug development. A hybrid 96-well cell analysis system addresses both parameters in a real-time and physiological manner for reliable, human-relevant results, necessary for a safe transition into clinical stages.
