CapStar-100 - Fast And Accurate CO2 Monitoring For Rats And Larger Animals

Features:

• Continuous or end-tidal CO2 monitoring
• Measures the pace of breathing
• Minimal flow needs for samples
• Appropriate for rats and larger animals
• ETCO2 and RR warnings that can be adjusted
• The result of an analog output signal and RS232 serial data
• Usage with animals that are ventilated or breathing on their own
• Studies on breathing control and fundamental monitoring

A tiny infrared analyzer with remarkable stability, minimal upkeep, and a linear output functions used as the instrument's brain. Within minutes, water condensation is prevented by the heated measurement cell. The graphic LCD display provides for continuous quick response or breath-by-breath peak end-tidal reading (ETCO2) and displays CO2 concentration in percent or mmHg. One calibrated gas and ambient air are used for calibration.

The CapStar-100 is the ideal instrument for routine CO2 monitoring of the respiratory system because of its dependability and simplicity of use. It is the ideal ally for tracking respiratory status when using CWE SAR-830 series small animal ventilators. It is possible to regulate end-tidal CO2 with the AVS-1 Advanced Ventilator System. Animals left unattended can also be observed using it. Animals as small as rats can be monitored using gas sample rates of less than 30 ml/min. The CapStar-100's quick response time enables end-tidal response plateaus at respiratory rates of 100 breaths per minute.

A selection of accessories are offered to guarantee simple setup and practical operation. The instrument comes with an accessory pack that includes sample tubing, moisture traps, and Nafion® moisture-absorbing sample tubes.
