The Two Channel Perivascular/Tubing Flow System includes a PowerLab 8/30, LabChart, Scope and LabChart Pro analysis software, Perivascular Flowmeter Module and Tubing Flowmeter Module in a Dual Channel Console. Selecting and purchasing
(separately) the appropriate Flowprobe (vascular) or Flowsensor (tubing), this system is used to measure blood flow in a single blood vessel from a range of animal species as well as fluid flow in laboratory tubing.
Flowprobe Selection & Ordering:
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. Detailed information about the physical and operational specifications of the Flowprobes is available in the
Perivascular Probe Specifications. When ordering a Perivascular Flowprobe please consult the
Flowprobe Ordering Guide.
Flowsensor Selection & Ordering:PXL-Series Sterile Flowsensors:Most non-aerated liquids can be measured including saline and buffer solutions, blood, water and even Diesel fuel. No physical contact is made with the fluid media. PXL-Series Flowsensors can be calibrated and programmed for up to 4 different fluid / temperature / tubing combinations and will work with most flexible tubing types. Sensor size is determined by outside diameter of the tubing.
Ordering:For a guide to the most appropriate flow sensor for measurement of tubing flow consult the
PXL Flowsensor Guide. To order a PXL-series flowsensor please complete the
PXL Flowsensor Order Form.
PXN- Series In-line Flowsensors:PXN-In-Line Flowsensors splice into laboratory tubing and measure absolute volume flow of blood and other fluids. The new four-transducer sensor design offers precision accuracy for flows from less than 1 ml/min up to flows of 100 liters/min. Flow range sensitivity is scaled to sensor size and flow is measured equally well across the full dynamic range of the sensor with little sensitivity to turbulence. Sizes 4PXN - 25PXN have barbed ultem tubing ends (barb) to mate easily to flexible laboratory tubing. Miniature sizes 1PXN - 3 PXN may be cut to length for insertion into small tubing circuits or perfusion apparatus. PXN inline sensors can be calibrated for up to four fluid/temperature combinations for highest accuracy performance in isolated organ setups.
Ordering:For a guide to the most appropriate flow sensor for measurement of tubing flow consult the
PXN Flowsensor Guide. To order a PXN-series flowsensor please complete and submit the
PXN Flowsensor Order Form.
