Associated Applications

• Biomechanics - Use BIOPAC equipment for gait analysis, goniometry, ergonomics evaluation, range of motion, EMG, Remote Monitoring or to interface with third-party equipment.
• Biology - Solutions for human, animal or tissue studies- both in vivo or in vitro. Options for biopotentials, dissolved oxygen, pH, stimulation, transducer signals, and more.
• Animal Studies - provides a wide range of options for animal and tissue experiments. Many lessons allow students to study animal and human species for comparative physiology programs. Use the new Gas Analysis System for human and animal experiments for the analysis of expired O2 and CO2. The new Dissolved Oxygen probe allows students to monitor the oxygen consumption of a goldfish. Perform intracellular recording and membrane transport studies.
• BME Biomedical Engineering - BME data acquisition and analysis for Biomedical Engineering signal processing, including bioelectric and biomechanical studies
• Cardiovascular Hemodynamics - Hardware for human and animals. Measure continuous BP, ECG, stroke volume, cardiac output, PPG, etc. For animal and tissue look at acute and chronic dose-response.
• Data Logging - Data Logging systems for physiological data from wireless wearable devices for ambulatory usbjects. Log biopotential data including heart rate, respiration rate, and temperature, plus activity and acceleration in the field. Analyze logged data with AcqKnowledge software.
• ECG: Cardiology - Connect up to 16 ECG input leads with MP160 system. Use automated analysis features for HRV, RSA, to classify heartbeats, identify arrhythmias, and perform ECG averaging.
• EDA: Electrodermal Activity -
• EEG: Electroencephalography - Wired and wireless EEG solutions. Record up to 32 channels of EEG and use software features for filtering, removing EOG artifacts, and complete frequency analysis.
• EGG: Electrogastrogram - Measure electrical activity of gastrointestinal system in humans and animals. Examine slow wave propagation and perform automated gastric wave analysis in AcqKnowledge.
• EMG: Electromyography - Record surface, needle, and fine wire EMG—or wireless EMG with BioNomadix. Use real-time integration tools for immediate analysis or use automated EMG analysis routines.
• ERS: Evoked Response - Record evoked, late, and field potentials, as well as startle and nerve conduction. Powerful on- and off-line averaging features (P300), and dual stimulation ability with the MP150.
• Exercise Physiology - Examine ventilation, oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, biopotentials, temp., and biomechanical signals simultaneously. Record wirelessly with BioNomadix.
