Transducers
Transducers
Transducers are sensors that convert biological signals into electrical analog signals. The analog signal is then digitized using a PowerLab DAQ. We offer a wide range of pressure and force transducers for research applications including blood pressure, telemetry, temperature and respiratory measurements.
Pressure Catheters
Millar Mikro-Tip® solid state catheters with pressure sensor(s) provide high-fidelity cardiovascular pressures (the heart and vascular system) at the source in small animals. These catheters are ideal for intrauterine, intracranial and arterial blood pressure monitoring, amongst other research applications.
Disposable BP Transducers
The Disposable Blood Pressure (BP) Transducers are designed to give consistent and accurate readings of arterial and venous blood pressure measurements in animals of all sizes.
Physiological Pressure Transducer
The Physiological Pressure Transducer is a highly accurate and robust piezo-resistive transducer. The dome is easy to fill and is...
Pulse Transducers
Finger Pulse Transducers use a piezo-electric element to convert force applied to the active surface of the transducer into an electrical analog signal.

Large Animal PV Catheters
The Ventri-Cath PV Loop catheters are multi-segment pressure-volume (PV) catheters for complete cardiac function assessment in continuously beating, intact hearts of large animals (including dog, pig and sheep).
Pulse Transducer/Pressure Cuff for NIBP (Rodent)
The NIBP cuff is used with the NIBP controller for non-invasive measurement of intermittent blood pressure in rodents.
GSR Electrodes
Electrodes designed to be used with the GSR Amp for measuring human galvanic skin response (GSR).
