Working Heart Ultimate System for Rats

Overview:

The PL3516B51/S-V Working Heart Ultimate System for Rats provides all the glassware and acquisition hardware to collect and analyze data from the isolated heart of rats. It provides measurement of perfusion pressure, aortic pressure, LVP, flow, oxygen concentration, pH, temperature and options for heart pacing. Balloons and a balloon cathter are also included for right ventricular develop pressure measurements.

Ordering Information:
When ordering the PL3516B51/S-V please specify the following.
Mains Power (V) = 115 for 110-115V or 220 for 220-240V

Note:

• Countries with 115V power service, the Thermal Circulator Pump requires a 20 AMPS outlet.
• Countries with 220V power service, the Thermal Circulator Pump requires a 15 AMPS outlet.

Data Acquisition and Analysis:
The PowerLab 16/35 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:

• A water-jacketed heart chamber and water-jacketed perfusion lines to ensure that the perfusate solution and the isolated heart are maintained at a constant temperature.
• A 16-channel PowerLab 16/35 ideal for recording data from isolated heart experiments and includes ADInstruments LabChart and LabChart Pro acquisition and analysis software.
• Mikro-Tip pressure catheters along with an inline Transonic flow system.
• LabChart and LabChart Pro Modules to record parameters such as left ventricular pressure and end-diastolic pressure, Max and Min dP/dt, cardiac electrical activity (ECG), heart rate, flow, pH and oxygen concentration.
• Advantages of the this Working Heart System include:

Applications:
