Leadless, minimally invasive, and easy to implant. Long term heart rate and body temperature.
Ideal for long- and short-term physiological studies to measure cardiac function in aquatic animals and fish. Published studies include baseline, stress response, thermal tolerance, and swim speed tests.
Key features
Small size, 15 mm x 46 mm and 19g, long battery life
Leadless, minimally invasive
ECG derived heart rate, records down to 4bpm
Guaranteed pressure tolerance to 800 meters
Automatic stress-free measurements
Small size and long battery life
The DST centi-HRT is a small heart rate and temperature logger, 19g in air, with a diameter of 15 mm and 46 mm in length. Long term heart rate studies are easy and simple to set up. You can expect to get a battery life that can last over a year, depending on sampling frequency and measurement interval.
Published data from several fish species
Star-Oddi loggers, available in four sizes, have been used successfully in several publications in various salmonid and other fish species. Fish weighing from approximately 120g up to several kg.
Leadless, minimally invasive
The DST centi-HRT simultaneously measures long term heart rate and temperature in the study animal. The logger has no external wires, which makes it especially simple to implant. It is made of unique ceramic housing and epoxy and is hermetically sealed, guaranteeing biocompatibility.
Application
The logger is ideal for a variety of studies looking at heart rate dynamics, including those studying behaviour, energetics, stress response or environmental challenges in the fields of fish physiology, animal welfare and other research on wild or captive aquatic animals.
