Overview of DSI Telemetry Solutions
Data Sciences International (DSI) offers advanced telemetry solutions for continuous, real-time in vivo physiologic monitoring in animal models. These solutions are designed to enhance research efficiency, reduce animal stress, and lower costs by minimizing the number of animals required for studies.
Advantages of Telemetry
  • Allows for chronic instrumentation of animals, enabling them to serve as their own controls or participate in multiple studies.
  • Reduces stress artifacts by eliminating the need for handling during data collection.
  • Facilitates 24/7 physiologic measurements without the need for lab personnel.
  • Decreases protocol costs by reducing animal numbers and maintenance needs.
Implantable Telemetry
DSI's PhysioTel™ implants are designed for stress-free data collection from conscious, freely moving animals. They are available in various sizes to accommodate different species, including mice, rats, dogs, and non-human primates. Key physiologic signals measured include pressures (arterial, ventricular, etc.), biopotentials (ECG, EMG, EEG), blood glucose, respiration, temperature, activity, and sympathetic nerve activity.
External Telemetry
DSI offers external telemetry solutions like JET™ for large animals and CA-EXT for small animals. These systems allow for the collection of multiple physiologic endpoints without surgery, maintaining animal welfare and data quality.
Telemetry Devices and Models
  • Extra-Small Implants: Suitable for mice and similar-sized animals, featuring models like HD-X11 and HD-X10 with various capabilities and battery life.
  • Small Implants: Used for species like rats and guinea pigs, with models such as HD-S21 and HD-S20 offering high fidelity signal acquisition.
  • Large Animal Implants: PhysioTel Digital L and M series cater to large animals like canines and swine, supporting applications in safety pharmacology and toxicology.
Technical Specifications
Each implant model is detailed with specifications such as pressure, biopotential, respiratory rate, temperature, activity, continuous glucose monitoring, battery life, and implant dimensions. These specifications ensure researchers can select the appropriate device for their specific study needs.
About Data Sciences International
DSI, a division of Harvard Bioscience Inc., is a leading provider of telemetry systems and associated software platforms for preclinical research. Their solutions support a wide range of studies from basic research to drug development.
