- Add to Quote Request
Overview:
The PL3508B15 Two Channel Perivascular/Tubing Flow System can be used to measure perivascular blood flow in a single blood vessel from a range of animal species via suitable flowprobes (select and purchase separately) as well as measuring tubing fluid flow from a single laboratory tube via suitable flowsensors (select and purchase separately). The system incorporates Transonic's innovative ultrasonic transit-time technology, which has been the gold standard for volume flow measurement for more than two decades. It is suitable for a range of applications including cardiac output, cardiovascular dynamics, renal hypertension, ischemia/reperfusion, and hindlimb studies. In addition, perfusion flow in isolated tissue-organ, Langendorff Heart and Working Heart studies can also be measured.

For further assistance or information in selecting a Flowprobe consult your nearest ADInstruments representative or contact ADInstruments support.
In order to maintain the proper signal strength level and zero offset it is required that the Nanoprobes be used with a CRA10-S-CRA10 (1.25 meter) long extension cable. After extensive testing it was found that this cable length is ideal for optimal performance of Transonic Systems Nanoprobes. The Nanoprobes are programmed and normalized with this requirement in mind. Failure to use the required extension cable with a Nanoprobe may result in poor performance that does not meet Transonic Systems' specifications.
Data Acquisition and Analysis:
The PowerLab 8/35 is shipped with ADInstruments LabChart software that provides data recording integrity, display and analysis features. The research system is also supplied with LabChart Pro software, which includes all the ADInstruments LabChart Modules (excluding GLP Client and Server). LabChart Modules provide application specific data acquisition, analysis and display features.
LabChart Pro also entitles the purchaser to 5 years of FREE LabChart Pro software upgrades and updates. Purchasers are also entitled to any LabChart Module released during this 5 year period (excludes GLP Client and Server).
For more information see the LabChart Pro page or contact your nearest ADInstruments representative.
Features:
- Complete flow analysis and acquisition system
- Highly accurate volume flow measurement
- Ultrasound transit-time technology – the gold standard
- Analog outputs for direct connection to PowerLab
Applications:
The Perivascular Flowmeter Module is used to measure blood flow or cardiac output from a single vessel type from a range of animal species. More information about these applications can be obtained from the Blood Flow and Cardiac Output application pages.For a guide to the appropriate flow probe for measurement of blood flow in a specific vessel in a specific species view the Probe Application Guide.
The Tubing Flowmeter Module is used to measure laboratory tubing fluid flow. Most non-aerated liquids can be measured including saline and buffer solutions, blood, water and even Diesel fuel with the PXL-Series Flowsensors.
For measurements of absolute volume flow of blood and other fluids the PXN-In-Line Flowsensors can splice into laboratory tubing. For more information about this application see the Blood Flow page.
