NEW! Harvard Apparatus now offers the MouseOx™ Pulse Oximeter for Rodents, which provides real-time, continuous measurements of arterial O2 saturation, pulse strength, breath rate, blood flow, and the effort to breathe. All these measurements are done via a non-invasive sensor that was specially developed to provide accurate measurements for heart rates up to 900 BPM.

The MouseOx™ is ideal for monitoring subjects during surgery — prevent hypoxia, titrate mechanical ventilation, monitor depth of anesthesia, titrate supplemental oxygen, set alarms, and monitor in real-time every breath! A wide range of clips are available to accommodate both awake and anesthetized animals in a variety of applications. The MRI sensor allows safe monitoring while in MRI environment. The CollarClip™ is a non-invasive clip easily applied to monitor freely roaming subjects while the ThroatClip™ allows for monitoring of anesthetized animals. We also offer standard and neonatal sensors that attach to the animal's thigh or foot - increasing the flexibility of this system while maintaining ease of use for the researcher.

The complete system involves animal restrainer, sensor and software for data acquisition. Additional accessories are available depending on specific application requirements. The software utilizes WinDaq Waveform Browser. Built-in statistics and filtering capabilities expand the system's flexibility. The waveform and real-time data point for each parameter measured is shown on the software.
