BIOPAC's NEW Micro Pressure Measurement System from
 is the complete solution for demanding pressure measurements using advanced optoelectronic technology—and is the premier choice for a variety of pressure measurements where accurate data, high speed, and small size are key features. The system is suitable for small animal physiology experiments where arterial blood pressure, left ventricular pressure (LVP), intracranial pressure (ICP), airway pressure, and blast pressure measurements are required.

-
Samba Preclin sensors are very small and well suited for application areas such as: cardiovascular blood pressure, LVP from within the heart of a small animal, intracranial pressure, intervertebral disc pressure, pediatric intensive care respiratory monitoring, muscle pressure, and pressure in the bladder or in the urinary tract.

See video from the Institute for Experimental Medical Research showing LVP from within the heart of a mouse.
Intelligent electronics in conjunction with fiber optics produce accurate data at high speed, making instantaneous pressure change analysis possible.
The electromagnetic immunity inherent in the SAMBA technology makes pressure measurement trouble-free, even in environments with high electromagnetic field strength, such as in MRI applications.
The Micro Pressure Measurement System consists of an MPMS100A-1 (single-channel) or MPMS100A-2 (dual-channel) Control Unit and a TSD170 series Micro Pressure Transducer (separate purchase).
-
TSD173A & B MRI-compatible Micro Pressure Transducers - NOTE: the dual channel MPMS100A-2 unit can’t accommodate two MRI probes at the same time
-
TSD174A & B Radio-opaque Micro Pressure Transducers
-
TSD175A & B Standard Micro Pressure Transducers
If you have an older model MPMS100 control unit, please contact BIOPAC for transducer part numbers and pricing.
The 0.42 mm optical transducer is very stable, has a low temperature coefficient, and is easy to use.
The micro dimensions of the transducer tip ensure a well-defined measurement location and minimal influence on the measurement.
The compact, portable, battery-operated control unit is based on advanced optoelectronic technology from Samba Sensors. All settings can be made on the front panel. Analog output and serial RS232 make connection with a BIOPAC MP unit easy. Measurement data can be monitored in real time and stored for further data analysis.
-
The MPMS100A-1 features one fiber-optic port.
-
The MPMS100A-2 features two ports, which allow for extended operations.
The individual calibration data stored on the EPROM of each connected Samba transducer is automatically read by the control units to ensure exact measurements.
