Overview:
The SPR-878 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-878 is an ultra-miniature Pressure-Volume Catheter (2.0F Polyimide Nylon) suitable for use in rats. It has a 12/12.5cm working length with four electrodes with 0.5mm between each electrode with the pressure sensor located in the center. The catheter has an effective length is 30cm.
The SPR-878 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.
