Complete Dual-Channel Gating Systems
This system uses a Micro Pressure Measurement System to provide the cardiac trigger and includes an MP150 Data Acquisition & Analysis System, Dual Channel Cardiac Respiratory Gating System, and approproiate amplifiers, transducers, cables, and electrodes.
The Micro Pressure Measurement System (MPMS100A-1) 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 Samba Preclin sensor (TSD173A or B) is 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. 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 Respiration Transducer (TSD110-MRI) requires no electrical connections inside the chamber and works on a number of body locations. The multipurpose assembly can be used to noninvasively measure pulse, respiration—from a small mouse to a human, small pressing forces (like pinching fingers together) for Parkinson’s evaluations, human facial expressions (smiling, frowning, etc.), spacing and pressure between teeth coming together, or startle blink response.
The Dual Channel Gating System (DTU200 in -B or DTU300 in -BL) works for small animal and human MRI applications. It sends cardiac trigger pulses to the MRI when a respiration signal is in the quiet phase. Additional filters and gain controls further refine the quality of the signal and ensure reliable triggering.
AcqKnowledge includes automation tools for artifact frequency removal, artifact projection removal, median filter artifact removal, and signal blanking.
