Ponemah Signal Conditioners and Amplifiers

Better signals means better data.

Consistent, reliable data acquisition from tethered, acute, or in vitro studies routinely performed in discovery, pharmacology and toxicology laboratories.





Confidently Collect the Analog Signals You Need

Still turning knobs? Stop reminding everyone in the lab not to touch the amplifier. Be confident in your data using Ponemah's ACQ-7700 digital signal conditioners for stable, accurate calibration and acquisition. Engineered for precision, Ponemah ACQ-7700 are designed to give you high quality, reproducible data. Ponemah amplifiers provide 16 bit resolution across all gain ranges to capture subtle changes even from the smallest of signals. Individual channel filters and low noise design yield minimal channel cross-talk and signal noise.

Central Nervous System

Don't let channel count or bandwidth limitations drive your study protocol. Utilize DSI's BIOPOD to achieve high channel count and bandwidth configurations:

  • Sleep
  • Seizure
  • Neurological disorders
  • Frequency domain endpoints (FFT, Periodograms)
  • Electromyogram and Electrooculogram
  • Local Field Potential

    Learn more...

Environmental Sensors

Your animals are subjected to ambient conditions throughout the study. Monitor these conditions to fully understand the environmental impact:

  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Barometric
  • Light

 



 

 

Simultaneous Acquisition with Implantable Telemetry

Combine endpoints into a single study to discover new insights.

Stop isolating whole animal physiology to the study of a single system. Now study the interplay between physiologic systems to make new and exciting discoveries.

Combine different study types (i.e. cardiovascular, respiratory, CNS) into a single study to reduce the number subjects used, while reducing the time and cost associated with running multiple studies. 

Applications include:

  • Sleep Apnea
  • Optogenetics
  • Forced Excercise
