The Cardiac Output Pod is used with high performance T-type thermocouples for the determination of cardiac output in small animals (mice, rats, guinea pigs or rabbits) using the thermodilution technique. The Cardiac Output Pod has a 'delta' temperature mode to allow a signal offset to be applied and therefore allow small temperature variations to be monitored accurately. This unit is for use in the determination of cardiac output in animals
ONLY.
Configuration:The ML313 is not supplied with a T-type thermocouple, this needs to be purchased separately. Alternatively the ML313C
Cardiac Output Pod (with Thermocouple) can be purchased which includes an MLT1402
T-type Ultra Fast Thermocouple Probe.
Thermocouple options:Any T-type thermocouple can be used with the ML313 Cardiac Output Pod, however, we recommended the MLT1402
T-type Ultra Fast Thermocouple Probe with a fast response time of 0.005 seconds, which is ideal for the thermodilution method. Other
T-type thermocouples are also available.
Data Analysis:To facilitate accurate and fast determinations of cardiac output the
Cardiac Output Module (Win only) for LabChart is also available for purchase.
Accessories:To facilitate the measurement of cardiac output from small animals (rats, guinea pigs and mice) the MLA313
Cardiac Output Accessory Kit can be
purchased separately.
The Cardiac Output Accessory Kit includes:
- 1 x Hamilton glass syringe (250µl)
- 1 x Repeating dispenser
- Polyethylene tubing
- 6 x Luer needle hubs
- 4 x Three-way stop-cocks
- 2 x Touhy Borst Adaptors
