The MyoLab specialises in techniques that determine the functionality of muscle.
Mechanical Testing
Maximum force, specific force, power, calcium sensitivity, elastic component
Metabolic Analyses
Capacity of glycolysis, Krebs cycle, beta oxidation, high energy phosphates, oxidative stress and metabolite concentrations
Structural Analyses
Muscle fibre type, muscle fibre size, including specific structural components, such as nuclei, mitochondria, sarcoplasmic reticulum
Besides skeletal muscle, the techniques that we use can be applied to many other tissues and materials. For more information on these techniques, click on each technique to find out more about their applications.
