Overview:
The SPR-819 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.
The SPR-819 is a selectable segmented Pressure-Volume Catheter (1.4F, 6E, 9mm/14mm) which can be used in measuring ventricular function in a small rat. The pressure sensor is located in the center, between the electrodes.
The SPR-819 can be used with:
- 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
*Please note however, this catheter cannot be used with the 880-0168SS MPVS-Ultra Single Segment Pressure-Volume Unit.
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.
Features:
- Ultra-miniature 1.4F pressure sensor
- Six platinum electrodes with the distance between each pair of 9mm and 14mm
- Pressure and volume measurement from a single instrument
- Flexible, durable, small-diameter catheter material
- High frequency response
- Pressure measurement at the source
- No motion artifact or damping of pressure signal
