Open Bath Recording and Imaging Chambers• Electrophysiological recording• Optical imaging• Tissue slice and cell cultures• Low profile design permits good electrode access to the bath• Fits all types of microscopes (call for compatibility)Warner's diamond-shaped open bath chambers allow for a laminar flowthroughout the bath. The low profile design allows for excellent electrodeaccess without interfering with optical measurements. Chambers withlarger baths (e.g., RC-26) allow for insertion of round coverslips into theassembly, facilitating rapid screening of cultured cells.

Slice hold-down anchors are offered for many chamber models.Anchors are stainless steel with Lycra threads at 2 mm spacing. Inaddition, 1.5 and 1.0 mm spacings are also available. Hold-downspress-fit into the chamber and are not weight-dependent.

Chambers mount into a platform which functions as a clampingbase for the chamber, and are mounted to the microscope using astage adapter specific for each microscope.

Compact, MotorizedMicromanipulator from Siskiyou• Ultra-high stability, with 20 mm travel in all four axes• True fourth axis, not interpolated.• Repeatable probe clamp aids fast pipette/electrode

replacement• Low profile base mount allows direct mounting to

microscope platformsThe MX7600 motorized crossed roller bearing micromanipulatoris ideal for patch recording experiments. The MX7600 offersexceptionally smooth linear travel and uses a precision pre-loaded lead screw to ensure drift-free operation. The motorized 4-axis micromanipulator incorporates the MXC-45 pipette holdermounted to an adjustable clamp on the Q axis. This clamp allowsthe MXC-45 and Q axis to be adjusted to the desired angle ofapproach from 0° to 180° for true axial approach. The MXC-45’sbuilt in rotational stop allows easy pipette replacement.

Picoliter Injector• Wide range of volume

delivery, from femtoliters to microliters (e.g. large volume injections into capillaries, small volumes into mammalian nuclei)

• Different pressure capabilities:a. 2 negative or vacuum functions (reduces injectable volumes)b. 3 positive pressures (precise amounts injection, balance

pressure that prevents backflow into micropipette)• User friendly/reproducible results• Balance, clear and hold unique functions• Popular applications: Injection of mouse, frog, Zebrafish,

oocytes, extracellular injections• DNA and mRNA, neurotransmitters, kinases and other

proteins injectionsAlso available in MRI compatible version.

Biopac MP150 Data Acquisition SystemsThe NEW MP150 High-speed data acquisition system utilizes thevery latest in Ethernet technology. Compliant with any Ethernet(DLC) ready PC or Macintosh. This next generation product takesfull advantage of cutting edge technology allowing the MP150 toaccess devices located on a Local Area Network (LAN) and recorddata to any computer connected to the network. MP150 canrecord and analyze data at an aggregate sample rate of 400,000samples per second. Using variable sample rates maximizes stor-age efficiency and guarantees there won’t be any data loss. Thesystem includes all the hardware, software and documentationyou need to get started. Use your existing amplifier or select froma full range of amplifiers and accessories available for your life sci-ence research requirements.

The MP systems modular construction is extremely flexible andincludes features that can measure numerous physiological signs,by a variety of different tests on almost any imaginable recordingscenario.

Physiological measurements: ECG, EEG, EMG, EOG, ERS, EGG, others.

Some possible recording scenarios:

• Psychophysiology and sleep studies• Exercise physiology, biomechanics, remote monitoring.• In-vitro pharmacology• Cardiovascular hemodynamics• Micro-electrode recording (in-vivo or in-vitro signals,

extra/ intra-cellular signal amplification (e.g. corticalmuscle and nerve action/ resting potentials, corneal/retinal potential).

• Laser doppler flow (to record the effects of drug treat-ments, exercise, or inadequate blood supply or microvas-cular circulation)

Call for more information on this research data acquisitionor ask about Biopac’s teaching systems.

Blood Pressure Transducer• Direct connection to recorders and computers• Extremely sensitive and stable• Suitable for small animalsThis physiological blood pressure transducer uses a semi-disposabledome of medical grade Silastic®, with an integral silicone rubberdiaphragm. Blood only contacts the diaphragm. Domes are suppliedsterile and can be re-sterilized and reused without affecting calibration.

Ask about BIOPAC compatibility.

MILLAR MICRO-TIP®

Pressure TransducerMillar transducers are essential for any studies where accurateanalysis of pressures and pressure waveforms are required; particu-larly where first and second derivatives of waveforms are to be com-puted. Signals from these transducers are suitable for storage onhigh frequency response data acquisition systems or for onlinecomputer analysis. Ask about our MRI compatible transducers.


&Animal Physiology Recording

Mini & Micro Ventilator For Smallto Very Small AnimalsThe newly developed MiniVent Model 845 Ventilator is a quiet,compact and light weight ventilator. While it was designed specifi-cally for mice, the MiniVent can be used for any animal (e.g. birdsand perinatal rats) which requires tidal volumes in the range of 30to 350 µl and respiratory rates of 60 to 400 breaths per minute.

Ask about our nebulizers.

Inspira–Advanced SafetyVentilator (ASV): Ventilate fromMice to CatsHarvard Apparatus is the leader in animal ventilation with a broadfamily of ventilation and anesthesia products for small and large ani-mals. The Inspira is the most advanced and versatile ventilator.

Capable of ventilating mice to cats (15 g to 10 kg). Adjustable I:Eratio 1:4 to 4:1), two models - constant volume and volume/pressureand many other advanced features: sigh breath, assist mode, PEEP.MRI compatible.

Ask about our complete animal respiration line.

Homeothermic Monitoring SystemsThe homeothermic monitoring system has a feedback loop thatmaintains an animal’s temperature and displays actual body temper-ature on the control unit (35˚C to 40˚C). Available in 3 sizes, frommice to dogs. Each system is supplied complete with control unit,temperature probe (rigid or flexible), blanket and plastic cover.


Isolated Physiologic Pressure TransducersThese solid state isolated pressure transducers measure from -50 to +300 mmHg with a 100 mmHg shunt cal resistor. Safety isassured by an isolated sensing mechanism and plastic case. Theyare defibrillator protected. Select the transducer based on yourrequired size, pressure and equipment to be used. Domes andinterface cables must be purchased separately. Transducer inter-face cables with integral connectors are also sold separately. Thispermits the same transducer to be connected to different equip-ment. Simply purchase the necessary interface cable based onthe equipment you will be using. Can also be used with BIOPAC.

Also available in MRI compatible versions.
