Description
The IITC sensors have the ability to detect the mouse blood pressure or rat blood pressure via the tail photoelectrically. The photoelectric sensor, light source and sensor are built into a one unit which attaches to any one of the IITC restrainers with nylon handscrews. All the sensors are nonmagnetic. They are extremely sensitive in detecting pulses due to IITC's superior desing and knowledge of mouse and rat blood pressure measurements. The ambient temperature that a reading can be taken starts at 29 degrees C. The maximum temperature needed for a test is usually 32 degrees C. for rats and 34 degrees C. for mice. The systolic readings are within five mmHg of Cannulation and Telemetry. (Validated) The IITC sensors can only be sold to existing customers or to customers purchasing a new IITC noninvasive tail cuff blood pressure system.
