Mouse Dual PV Catheter (1.4F, 2P, 4E,4.5mm, Car)

Millar P-V catheters have revolutionized cardiovascular research in small animals. These ultra-miniature catheters are capable of measuring both ventricular pressure and volume simultaneously and continuously from the intact beating hearts of rats and mice.

The SPR-864 is an ultra-miniature Pressure-Volume Catheter (1.4F Polyimide Nylon) suitable for use in mice. This catheter is ideally suited for use in mice hearts using the closed chest carotid method. The pairs of platinum electrodes are separated by 0.5mm with the distance between each pair being 4.5mm. The catheter has two pressure sensors.

The catheter requires a PEC-4D Catheter Interface Cable for pressure measurement and CEC-4B Connection Cable for Conductance Catheter for connection to the MPVS-300 or MPVS-400 Pressure-Volume Unit.

The SPR-864 can be used with the ML870B45 Pressure-Volume Foundation System which includes the following components:

• ML870 PowerLab 8/30 (LabChart and Scope software)
• MLS260 LabChart Pro software
• 910-1053 MPVS-300 Pressure-Volume Unit (with gain adjust)
  
• CEC-4B Connection Cable for Conductance Catheter
• PEC-4D Catheter Interface Cable (2)
• BNC-BNC Cables (3)
• PVAN Software and User's Guide
• 910-1049 Volume Calibration Cuvette (1.5 to 4.0 mm)
• 910-1048 Volume Calibration Cuvette (2 to 15 mm)

Calibration
A Pressure Gauge kit which provides the necessary items to calibrate the pressure transducers is available. Please contact your nearest ADInstruments representative for any further information.
