Updated Small Animal Pulse Oximeter Product Range

ADInstrument's new Small Animal Pulse Oximeter configurations and additional accessories allow pulse oximetry measurements in mice and rats.

New configurations

The MLE1115-V Small Animal Pulse Oximeter measures non-invasive real-time cardiorespiratory parameters in free-roaming or anesthetized rodents. The MLE1116-V Small Animal Oximeter with Pulse Output with additional analog pulse signal output can be used to trigger external devices.

Both oximeters are supplied with the MLE1103 ManualSpin Hand Commutator™, MLE1101 Universal Connector Cable (6 ft), sample sensor pack, standard USB 2.0 cable and MouseOx software.  The MLE1071 STARR-Link™ Analog Output Module is available separately for recording cardiopulmonary signals from the Small Animal Pulse Oximeter using a PowerLab data acquisition unit and LabChart software.

MRI Compatibility

The MLE1117 Small Animal Pulse Oximeter with MRI Sensor and MLE1118 Small Animal Pulse Oximeter with Pulse Output and MRI Sensor provide non-invasive multiple cardiopulmonary measurements from mice or rats in a magnetic resonance imaging environment. Both oximeters are supplied with MLE1111 MRI Sensor (20ft), 2x MRI Mouse Thigh Clips, 2x MRI Rat Foot Clips, standard USB 2.0 cable and MouseOx software.
More information including Small Animal Pulse Oximeter connections can be obtained from the Small Animal Pulse Oximeter technique note.
