A plataforma Integrative Toolkit to Analyze Cellular Signals (iTACS) automatiza o processo de medição simultânea de uma grande variedade de sinais químicos e mecânicos em células aderentes. O iTACS foi projetado para facilitar o desenvolvimento orientado pela comunidade e permitir que os pesquisadores usem todos os recursos da plataforma, independentemente de sua formação educacional.
