DSI Buxco 全身体积描记系统简称 WBP系统 (Whole Body Plethysmography), 主要用于监测清醒自由活动、非束缚、非麻醉状态下实验动物的呼吸功能。 监测过程中，实验动物需放置于特殊设计的腔体中进行实验。WBP 腔体配有高敏感度的压力传感器，可探测腔体内细微的压力变化。腔体上亦配有带筛孔的pneumotachs，通过它，气流可从腔体外进入到腔体内，细微的压力变化由此产生，而腔体本身就是描记仪。基于这些细微的流量信号，Buxco FinePointe 软件通过专业的衍算公式与分析，为您提供专业精准的肺通气、支气管收缩等相关参数。
DSI Buxco 所有的呼吸系统产品都有其相应的配件包可选，进一步优化了各系统配置的灵活性并大幅降低系统 维护成本。其中常用的呼吸体积描记腔配件包 (Chamber Maintenance Kit) 包含密封圈与筛网等腔体必备的各种配件 。
