Wireless Telemetry Overview

Advantages of telemetry – Conscious, unrestrained, long-term

Conscious – Anesthesia affects most physiological control systems and can significantly confound your results. Telemetry allows data to be collected from conscious animals after they have recovered from surgery and enables cognitive and behavioral studies not possible under anesthesia.

Unrestrained – Restraining animals induces stress which affects normal physiological functions and the data recorded. Telemetry allows data collection from animals in their home cage without the stress induced by the presence of researchers or handling.

Long-term – By monitoring physiological functions over days, weeks or months, researchers can study biological rhythms and follow the development of pathology as it occurs. Within animal design strengthens the statistical power of a study and can reduce group sizes.

Advantages of Kaha Sciences Telemetry

Kaha Sciences systems combine high fidelity digital telemetry with patented wireless power technology to create high-quality solutions for your physiological monitoring needs. Paired with PowerLab and LabChart, this solution sets the new standard in quality and power for implantable, wireless telemetry in rats and mice.

POWER
Patented wireless power technology allows for higher sampling rates (2 kHz), improved time resolutions, and opens the door for the unique use of more complicated and power intensive technologies such as oxygen sensors and high quality Millar Mikro-Tip^TM sensors (rat pressure telemeters).

QUALITY
Rat pressure telemeters incorporate a gold standard Millar Mikro-Tip^TM catheter containing a solid-state sensor at the catheter tip. This provides customers with the ability and confidence to measure long-term, highly accurate and sensitive recordings from intracardiac through to intracranial pressures.
