Rat/Mouse Selectable Seg PV Catheter (1.4F, 6E, 4mm/6mm)

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-866 is is a selectable segmented Pressure-Volume Catheter (1.4F, 6E, 4mmmm) which can be used in measuring ventricular function in either a mouse or rat. The pressure sensor is located in the center, between the electrodes.

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

By purchasing the CEC-10E PV Cable the SPR-819 catheter can be used with the 880-0168 MPVS Ultra Pressure-Volume Unit (small or large animals).

The SPR-866 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.
