When combined with spirometry O2 consumption and CO2 production can be measured and metabolic rates can be estimated.
Respiratory Gas Analysis is the study of the mixture of gases being inspired or expired by an animal or human subject. The primary gases of interest are typically oxygen and carbon dioxide. The changes in this gas mixture between inhalation and exhalation, combined with a measurement of respiratory flow, can be used to estimate metabolic rate.
LabChart software is designed specifically for life science data and provides up to 32 channels for data display and analysis options that are powerful and easy to use. With auto-recognition of ADI and LabChart Compatible hardware, multi-window views, one touch recording, simultaneous recording from multiple devices, specialized preconfigured settings, easy sharing options and an interface that can be customized to show only the features you want to use.
ADInstruments’ Gas Analyzer allows the flow rate of gas being drawn into the instrument to be adjusted. For human studies this flow rate should be set at maximum (200ml/min) to ensure the fastest possible response time. For studies on small animals the flow rate can be decreased to work with the much smaller gas volumes.
