Webinar: Cuore: the new standard for robust and sensitive contractility readouts of 3D engineered muscle tissues

Join our live webinar to discover the next generation of the Cuore muscle contractility platform and see how continuous monitoring, high sensitivity, and scalable workflows can support robust functional readouts in 3D engineered muscle tissues.

Event details

We are hosting two live webinar sessions to support different regions. Please register for the session that best matches your location and preferred time zone.

For Europe & Middle East

Date: Thursday, 7 May 2026
Time: 16:00 CET

For North and South America

Date: Tuesday, 12 May 2026
Time: 09:00 PST

What to expect

Researchers working with cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle models need reliable functional data to move their research forward with confidence.

In this webinar, we introduce the next generation of the Cuore muscle contractility platform and show how it enables robust and sensitive contractility measurements in 3D engineered muscle tissues. We will explore the latest platform improvements, new features, and recent customer examples that demonstrate how continuous monitoring can deliver reproducible data at unprecedented sensitivity.

Whether you are introducing NAMs into your workflow, replacing animal models, or moving from 2D systems to more relevant 3D models, Cuore helps you add meaningful functional readouts to your muscle research.

What you will learn

In this webinar, you will learn how Cuore helps researchers:

  • Generate robust 3D in vitro cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues with validated on-demand protocols from Optics11 Life
  • Perform real-time functional contractility measurements on a single integrated platform, with or without electrical stimulation
  • Detect even the smallest physiologically relevant changes through continuous monitoring with nN sensitivity
  • Scale workflows from 24 up to 96 samples
  • Explore applications in cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle models
  • Distinguish the effects of drugs aimed at functional recovery of muscle force with minimal technical replicates
  • Interpret contractility data more intuitively using our new Prova data analysis software suite
