Multielectrode Array Assays Using Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes

Methods Mol Biol. 2021:2320:111-119. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-1484-6_12.

Abstract

Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) have been shown to have great potential to play a key role in investigating cardiac diseases in vitro. Multielectrode array (MEA) system is sometimes preferable to patch-clamp in electrophysiological experiments in terms of several advantages. Here we show our protocol of electrophysiological examinations using MEA.
