Price on Request

Easy and reliable technique to measure systemic blood pressure and cardiovascular parameters in rodents without invasive catheterization.

• Total reliability to realize consecutive measurements on the same animal
• Analog signal output for recording cuff pressure and pulse signals in a PC
• Automated deflation driven separately for each animal (minimize tail lesions)
• Automated cuff inflation/deflation at a very constant rate
• The same system can be used for mouse/rat/dog
• Real values provided (without any linear regression calculation)
• Easily traceable data (using data acquisition software)
• Parameters evaluated can be visualized on-line on the digital display

DETAILS

The Panlab NIPB system provides an easy and reliable technique to measure systemic blood pressure and cardiovascular parameters in rodents without invasive catheterization.

The pulse signal level (heart rate) is continuously monitored on the LCD display while an internal pressure transducer is constantly measuring the current pressure applied on the cuff. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures are displayed after a series of automatic processes finish.

A warm environment is critical for accurate blood pressure measurement. For optimal conditions the Panlab Warming Chamber (76-1137) or the Automatic Heater & Scanner (76-0179) provides a comfortable heated environment. The requirement of a warm environment for the animals is critical for accurate blood pressure measurements. To provide adequate conditions for NIBP measurement, the system can be used in association with a warming chamber which provides a comfortable and heated environment necessary to produce peripheral vasodilatation and isolate the animal from external noise.
