Kaha Small Animal Telemetry
Continuous, High-Quality Data from Freely Moving Animals.
Kaha Sciences’ wireless telemetry system delivers uninterrupted, high-fidelity data from freely moving rats and mice, enabling long-term, naturalistic data collection without battery limitations.
Seamlessly integrate with PowerLab and LabChart or LabChart Lightning for precise signal acquisition and analysis of large data sets while enhancing animal welfare and research efficiency.
Advantages of Wireless Telemetry
Improved Animal Welfare & Data Quality – Telemetry is an industry-recommended practice that reduces stress artifacts by enabling continuous data collection from conscious, freely moving animals.
Conscious Data Collection – Avoid the confounding effects of anesthesia and enable cognitive and behavioral studies by recording data from conscious, free-moving animals.
Stress-Free & Natural Behavior – Collect accurate physiological data without the interference of handling or researcher presence by monitoring unrestrained animals in their home cage.
Long-Term Insights with Fewer Animals – Study biological rhythms and disease progression over days, weeks, or months, improving statistical power and reducing required group sizes.

The autonomic regulation of blood flow to various systems is dominated by the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Alterations of SNA to most vascular beds (e.g. renal, splanchnic, skeletal muscle) results in acute arterial pressure responses.

Tissue oxygen is a measure of the concentration of oxygen within a tissue, usually quantified as a partial pressure in mmHg.

LVP is a direct measure of heart health and function. It can be measured using a Pressure Telemeter inserted directly into the left ventricle. Inserting the catheter tip ~10mm into the heart has been found to give the most stable LVP signals over long periods of time.

Intracranial Pressure measures the pressures exerted on the brain primarily by cerebrospinal fluid and blood. In rats, this can be measured using a 25cm Pressure Telemeter.
