Overview:
The SPR-902 Millar P-V catheters have revolutionized cardiovascular research in small animals. These catheters are capable of measuring both ventricular pressure and volume simultaneously and continuously from the intact beating hearts of rats and mice.
The SPR-902 is a Pressure-Volume Catheter (2F Polyimide Nylon) suitable for use in rats. This catheter is ideally suited for use in rat hearts using the closed chest apical method. The pairs of platinum electrodes are separated by 0.5mm with the distance between each pair being 12mm. The catheter has two pressure sensors.
The SPR-902 can be used with:
- PL3516B49 MPVS-Ultra Foundation System
- PL3508B48/R MPVS-Ultra Single Segment Foundation System for Rats
- 880-0168SS MPVS-Ultra Single Segment Pressure-Volume Unit
- Requires 880-0170BNC MPVS-Ultra Single Segment Cable Pack
- MPVS-400 Pressure-Volume Unit (replaced by 880-0168SS MPVS-Ultra Single Segment Pressure-Volume Unit)
- Requires a PEC-4D Catheter Interface Cable (Low Profile to Redel, 4ft) for pressure measurement
- Requires a CEC-4B Conductance Catheter Connection Cable (discontinued) for volume measurement
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.
