Overview:
The SPR-864 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 inmice 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 SPR-864 can be used with:
- PL3516B49 MPVS-Ultra Foundation System
- PL3508B48/M MPVS-Ultra Single Segment Foundation System for Mice
- 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.
