Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Whole-body Plethysmography (WBP) System by Shanghai Tow Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd is designed for non-invasive pulmonary function testing in small animals. It allows for the measurement of respiratory parameters without the need for anesthesia or surgery, making it suitable for long-term studies.
Specifications and Features
  • Non-invasive testing with high precision, though less accurate for airway resistance compared to invasive methods.
  • Automated asthma experiment capabilities with customizable processes to reduce human error.
  • Measures parameters such as respiratory rate, tidal volume, and enhanced pause (Penh).
  • Integrates respiratory detection, drug administration, and bias-flow functions with real-time display.
  • Optional accessories include microphones, fiber optic swivels, and pulse oximetry.
Applications
  • Asthma research, drug screening, pharmacological analysis, and toxicological studies.
  • Extended applications include monitoring under various conditions like hypoxia and hyperoxia, and in behavioral experiments related to olfactory stimuli.
  • Supports large-animal studies and includes modules for cough detection and respiratory metabolism monitoring.
Model Selection and Customization
  • Available in various configurations for different animal sizes and research needs, including automated asthma and optogenetics research functions.
  • Customization options are available upon consultation.
References and Accreditation
  • Used by prestigious institutions such as Peking University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
  • Backed by patents and recognized as a high-tech enterprise.

Animal Whole Body Plethysmography System-WBP-2

Whole-body plethysmograph,WBP The unconstrained whole-body plethysmography (Whole-body plethysmograph, WBP) can conduct tests related to pulmonary function and airway responses in conscious and freely moving small animals. It avoids the influence of traumatic tracheotomy and anesthesia, making the experimental process simple and fast, and is suitable for long-term follow-up research. During the experiment, the animal is placed in a sealed plethysmograph chamber, which is connected to sensors outside the chamber. When the animal breathes, the fluctuation of its chest wall changes the volume inside...
