A special focus on optogenetics
Optogenetic studies targeting respiratory centers in the brain stem can be paired with whole body plethysmography (WBP) to measure pulmonary function.

» Does not require anaesthetics, which can depress the neural-network controlling respiration.
» Conscious, freely moving subjects that have the ability to respond to real-time optical challenges.
» Swivel/tether system for measurement of other physiological parameters (ECG, EEG) or blood sampling following injections.
» Easily integrated with gas challenges (CO2/O2) to further induce or inhibit signaling pathways.
» Measures ventilatory parameters: Respiratory Rate (RR), estimated Tidal Volume (VT), Minute Ventilation (V) or Periodic breathing
Telemetry
easyTEL implantable system transmits physiological data from conscious freely moving laboratory animals. Our range of implants offers the ability to record the following parameters, depending on your study needs:
» Biopotential (ECG, EEG, EMG)
» Blood pressure
» Temperature
» Activity from acceleration
