MouseOx® Plus Pulse Oximeter for Rodents
Non-invasive pulse oximeter providing real–time, continuous measurements of arterial O2 saturation, heart rate, breath rate, temperature, pulse distention, breath distention and activity in conscious and anesthetized rodents, from neonatal mice through adult rats
This non-invasive pulse oximeter provides real–time, continuous physiological measurements. It is designed to work with neonatal mice through adult rats. It has a patented design to detect heart rates from 90 to 900 bpm. The MouseOx Plus easily allows researchers to titrate mechanical ventilation and monitor depth of anesthesia.
A complete system for anesthetized animals consists of the MouseOx Plus, software, and a sensor. A complete System for conscious animals consists of the MouseOx Plus, software with Conscious Monitoring module, conscious monitoring equipment and a collar clip sensor.
- Option for Premium software or DAQ interface box for data collection and analysis
- Option for multiple animal monitoring from one MouseOx Plus system
All MouseOx Plus systems come with two sensors of your choice.
Provides the following measurements:
- Arterial Oxygen Saturation
- Heart Rate– Breath Rate
- Temperature (optional)
- Pulse Distention
- Breath Distention
- Activity (optional)
