Specifications are nominal. Some parameters, such as minimum animal weight, may vary depending on research methodology and preference. For example, some researchers have implanted PhysioTel® TA transmitters in animals smaller than 20 grams. Larger cage sizes also can be accommodated with special configurations.

Specifications, performance and accuracy are valid for the warranted battery life and only when data are recorded using Dataquest™ A.R.T. with factory-supplied calibration values. Transmitters may work over wider ranges with reduced accuracy.
*An externally worn telemetry repeater is available to allow retransmission of the telemetry signals using multiple frequencies over a long range (3-10m). This also permits the use of smaller transmitter models in large animals. See our website for more details.

Specifications are nominal. Some parameters, such as minimum animal weight, may vary depending on research methodology and preference. For example, some researchers have implanted the PhysioTel® PA-C10 transmitter in mice smaller than 17 grams. Larger cage sizes also can be accommodated with special configurations. Minimum animal weight may vary based upon placement location, surgical skill and strain of animal used.
