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.

Respiratory Belt Sensor

The Respiratory Belt Sensor is designed to measure changes in chest diameter resulting from breathing.

Blood Pressure Sensor

Demonstrate blood pressure measurements in a lecture, tutorial, or practical class with these sphygmomanometers, each of which is coupled to a pressure transducer.

Skin Temperature Sensor

Skin Temperature Sensors are specifically designed for continuous temperature monitoring using the skin as an indicator of body temperature.

Cardio Microphone Sensor

Accurately converts heart sounds (mechanical vibrations) into electrical signals via an electret (condenser) microphone device.

Tendon Hammer Sensor

Tendon hammers can be used to stimulate muscle spindles which elicit muscle contractions. They also provide triggering, timer or marker signals.

Finger Pulse Sensor

The Finger Pulse Sensor uses a piezo-electric element to convert force applied to the active surface of the transducer into an electrical analog signal.

Grip Force Sensor

A pre-calibrated ready-to-use strain gauge based isometric dynamometer with a linear response in the 0-800N range.

Go Direct® Melt Station

The Go Direct® Melt Station is used in the “Synthesis and Analysis of Aspirin” lab in the Lt Chemistry Collection.

Optogenetics Biopotential Telemeter

The Kaha Sciences Optogenetics Biopotential telemeter from ADInstruments is the first fully implantable, wireless optogenetic solution to offer both optogenetic stimulation and recording (EEG, ECG, and EMG) within the same device.
