NonInvasive Blood Pressure System for Rodents for Physiology Lab

Easy and reliable system for measuring systemic blood pressure and cardiovascular parameters in rodents without invasive catheterization. The system continuously monitors pulse signal and cuff pressure and automatically determines systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure along with heart rate. It supports repeated measurements on the same animal and provides analog signal output for recording cuff pressure and pulse signals through a computer-based data acquisition system. A warm environment is recommended for accurate blood pressure measurement. Manufactured by Atico Export with a focus on precision, durability and consistent performance for physiological research and experimental laboratory use.
