Capnograph for Small Rodents for Physiology Lab

Capnograph designed for rats and mice with a built-in highly sensitive infrared spectroscopy CO₂ sensor for accurate monitoring of respiratory CO₂ concentration in small animals. The pressure- and temperature-compensated sensor, very low sensor volume, optimized system volume and micro-pump provide accurate respiratory monitoring. The system also provides electronic compensation for signal interference during NO₂ anesthesia administration. Manufactured by Atico Export with a focus on precision, durability and consistent performance for physiological research and experimental laboratory use.
