The MICROCAPSTAR End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Analyzer provides accurate end-tidal or continuous measurement of expired CO2 in animals as small as mice. It features very low sample flow requirements, rapid response time, and long-term stability. Respiratory rate (RR) is computed using the excursions of the CO2 waveform. The CO2 and RR measurements, as well as a trend plot of the end-tidal values, are displayed on the graphics LCD screen.
The heart of the MICROCAPSTAR is a new temperature-controlled, miniature infrared CO2 sensor with digital output. Low sample flow and rapid response is achieved with a carrier gas system employing digitally controlled active flow management. This technique precisely and automatically maintains the ratio of carrier flow to sample flow, which is essential for accurate measurements.
The heated measurement cell prevents water condensation, even during longterm measurement sessions. The front-panel display shows CO2 concentration (either instantaneous or ETCO2) in either percent or mmHg. Calibration is performed with a single calibration gas and room air. An adjustable ETCO2 alarm provides a warning when end-tidal values fall out of a useradjustable preset range. All adjustments are performed digitally using a single knob. Built-in diagnostics monitoring warn of plugged sample tubing or other fault conditions.
The advanced features, reliability, and ease of operation of the MICROCAPSTAR make it the perfect companion to our SAR-830 series Small Animal Ventilators for monitoring respiratory status. An accessory pack containing spare low volume sample tubing and a variety of connectors and fittings is included with the instrument. A range of accessories is available to ensure easy setup and convenient operation. Windows-based monitoring software is included, which allows display of the measurements, and saving the data to a disk file.
