GEMINI - End-Tidal O2 & CO2 Monitor

Features:

• Measures O2 and CO2 accurately, breath by breath
• Outstanding long-term stability
• Linearly produced voltage
• Tunable CO2 and respiratory rate alerts
• For rats and other bigger creatures

High-performance sensor technology is used in this instrument to provide precision, stability, and quick response. A fast-response paramagnetic sensor cell is used to measure O2, and a temperature-controlled tiny infrared analyzer cell is used to detect CO2. Each breath updates the respiratory rate, which is calculated using the typical excursion of the CO2 signal.

Easy setup and use: As close to the animal as feasible, the sample inlet tubing is linked to the endotracheal tube. A single knob is used to adjust the high and low alarms, and non-volatile memory stores the settings so they do not need to be reset the next time the instrument is used. All readings are supplied as analog voltages for external recording and are shown on the front panel LCD display. Moreover, a serial port offers all measurements in a straightforward ASCII format that can be read by any computer.

Expandable: Any SYSTEM 1000 instrumentation module may be installed in an available slot. Cardiotachometer (Model CT-1000), blood pressure amplifier (Model PM-1000), and many other features are among the available modules. By configuring a full physiological monitor with this expandability, you can utilize it throughout surgery or prolonged investigations.

Applications: For animals as small as rats, the GEMINI monitor gives comprehensive information for assessing respiratory function. It includes connections, moisture filters, and an accessory pack of inlet tubing.
