DSI PhysioTel™ Transmitter Feature Summary
Scientists are able to study a number of physiological parameters in laboratory mice and small and large animals using DSI PhysioTel™ Transmitters Specifications. DSI offers four series of PhysioTel™ implantable transmitters to measure different parameters:
- PhysioTel™ Digital (L) implants are remotely programmable and can measure pressure, biopotentials, temperature and activity in addition to digitally encoded data in large animals. Every implant in this series has smart battery saving functionality. Enabled with social housing capabilities, Digital can also monitor from multiple animals in the same cage with minimal hardware. This is DSI's highest performing large animal telemetry implant.
- PhysioTel™ Hybrid Digital (HD) series transmitters measure pressure, biopotentials, temperature and activity in addition to digitally encoded data in small animals. Every transmitter in this series has battery life monitoring capabilities. This is DSI's highest performing small animal transmitter.
- PhysioTel™ PA series transmitters measure pressure (P) and activity (A) in mice, small animals and large animals.
- PhysioTel™ TA series transmitters measure temperature (T) and activity (A) in mice, small animals and large animals.
- PhysioTel™ EA, CA, ETA and CTA series transmitters measure biopotentials (E, C) such as ECG, EEG and EMG as well as temperature (T) and activity (A) in mice, small animals and large animals.
- PhysioTel™ Multiplus series transmitters measure combinations of pressure (P), biopotentials (E, X, C), respiratory impedance (R), temperature (T) and activity (A).
