End-tidal CO2 is one of the important parameters in assessing the
depth of anesthesia, hypo- and hyper-ventilatory syndrome in
laboratory animals especially in rats and mice. The device can
also be used in monitoring end-tidal CO2 in experimental animal
involving surgery. The instrument is ideal for rats and mice and
it utilizes low air sample flow rates (5, 20 ml/min). The
measurement is based on low pressure-high velocity principle and
analyzes sample gas with infra-red gas sensor technology. It has
also the capabilities of determining the respiration rate by
counting the period from the wave pattern of CO2 concentration.
The device can be interfaced with IBM compatible computer via its
RS-232 option to provide automated data collection. Analog
voltages are presented proportional to all measured parameters
for chart recording or connection to a computer equipped with
physiological monitoring interface and software. If you are
