Rodent monitor: for monitoring electrocardiogram, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation.

BIOPAC MP36R, together with the Acqknowledge software licence allows the measurement of multiple parameters depending on the sensor used. The service has available the sensors to record:

• ECG and heart rate
• Invasive blood pressure

MouseOx Plus measures oxygen saturation in small animals in addition to other visual signs.

Its main features are:

• Non-invasive.
• Works with anaesthetised and conscious subjects.
• Compatible from neonates to adults.
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible (MRI sensor required).
• Can be used to monitor several animals.

Provides the following measurements:

• Arterial oxygen saturation.
• Heart rate.
• Respiratory rate.
• Temperature.
• Pulse and respiration rate.

An analogue output module with a 0-5v range can be optionally included with measurements of oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiration and pulse distension.
