The contractile properties of airway smooth muscle are clearly a fundamental determinant
of airway caliber and responsiveness to both contractile and relaxant stimuli in normal or
pathological conditions. To perform contractile measures on airway smooth muscle tissue
it is necessary to continuosly acquire data from force trasducers with adeguate temporal
precision and accuracy. We realized a simple low-cost device, based on arduino due and
processing, two open products, to continously record airway smooth muscle tone. In this
work we introduce this device and its use.
