UGO Basile 7140 Plethysmometer
UGO Basile 7140 Plethysmometer. The 7140 Plethysmometer is a microcontrolled volume meter, specially designed for accurate measurement of the rat/mouse paw swelling.
The new Plethysmometer is a microcontrolled volume meter, specially designed for accurate measurement of the rat/mouse paw swelling. It consists of a water filled Perspex cell (several diams. are available) into which the paw is dipped. A transducer of original design records small differences in water level, caused by volume displacement.
The digital read-out shows the exact volume of the paw. The instrument features direct connection to PC of a single unit, via the optional win-DAS software package. The weight of the animal (a datum generated by an optional electronic scale) and the volume of the paw can be processed and printed together.
The optional Mini-Printer 7145 enables the print-out of the experimental data.
