Core Temperature Monitoring System

The system is manufactured by BodyCap in France, and SDR Scientific is the authorised distributor for this system in Australia and New Zealand.

This system is comprised of an implantable /ingestible pill that wirelessly and continuously transmits temperature data to a dedicated monitor.

Animals from 20g upwards are suitable, including mouse, rat, rabbit, monkey, even aquatic species.

A single monitor can manage data from several animals, whether they are group or single housed.

The Anilogger / Anipill System offers:

• Continuous core temperature monitoring - suitable for longer term studies
• Obtain data from either free moving or socially housed animals
• Minimise handling: Obtain more accurate data, saves time
• Less stress: maximise animal ethics benefits
• Can monitor up to 8 pills in parallel

Small Animal Physiological Monitoring System

The Small Animal Physiological Monitoring System is an instrument integrating multiple physiology parameters on one single small platform. The objective behind this instrument is to provide superior monitoring results, while making surgery and other manipulations on small animals easier.

The platform integrates monitoring of the rectal temperature, electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, oxygen saturation (SpO2), blood pressure and exhaled CO2 (EtCO2). It also includes a controlled heating surface to maintain the animal's body temperature at the desired level.

Key Features:

• Small footprint
• Integrated and ergonomic
• Intuitive touchscreen
• Real-time numeric and graphic display

Homeothermic Monitoring System

The Harvard Homeothermic Monitoring System is a closed loop temperature control system for small rodents. Utilizing a small, flexible rectal probe to monitor the animal's core temperature and a heating pad to provide heat input, the subject's core body temperature can be accurately controlled. The control unit receives temperature feedback from the rectal probe and adjusts the current to the pad accordingly.

The easy to use LCD touch screen allows users to set a target temperature and clearly view the subject's current core body temperature, as well as the set temperature, at all times. Additionally, audible alarms can be set to advise the user should the animal's core body temperature deviate ± 1° from the set temperature.

• Easy to use LCD Touchscreen
• Choice of 3 sizes of heating pad
• Integrated flexible rectal probe
• Adjustable set point of 20 to 50 °C
