DSI PhysioTel® Implantable Telemetry is designed for monitoring and collecting data from conscious, freely moving laboratory animals. These advanced implants are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate species and cage size requirements. The implantable transmitter senses, processes, and transmits information via telemetry from within an animal of any size — mouse, small animal, or large animal.  Researchers and scientists can measure arterial pressure, venous pressure, left ventricular pressure, intraocular pressure, bladder pressure, kidney pressure, ECG, EMG, EEG, EOG, glucose, temperature, activity, as well as other parameters.
