Animal research data logger DST centi-HRT

temperatureheart ratelaboratory

Leadless, minimally invasive and easy to implant. Long term heart rate and body temperature. Ideal for long- and short term studies in which baseline, stress and immunology responses are recorded in large animals. Key features Leadless, minimally invasive Size 46mm x 15mm and 19g Long battery life – typically 19 months Automatic stress-free measurements ECG derived heart rate, including data verification 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 including those looking at behaviour and stress response, in the fields of laboratory animal research, wildlife research, animal welfare and fish physiology. Leadless ECG Derived Heart Rate The heart rate is derived from a leadless single channel ECG. As the electrodes are part of the housing the logger is especially easy to implant. The logger takes a burst measurement of ECG at the set time interval and calculates the mean heart rate for each recording. For validation purposes, individual ECG bursts can be saved. In addition each burst is graded with a QI (quality index).
