The TSE Phenomaster indirect calorimetry system uses measurements in a closed chamber through which a constant amount of air flows and where it is possible to set the ambient temperature in the range of 6-35 \u00b0C as well as various light-dark modes. The animal is placed in a special cage in which oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production can be detected. The difference in gas concentration serves as the basis for calculating the respiratory quotient and energy expenditure. The device also allows continuous monitoring of food intake and physical activity. The system also includes an adaptation for measurements on rats. The device can measure 16 mice or 8 rats simultaneously.<\/p>\n
Unique features:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Designed to measure energy metabolism, food intake, and animal activity. All data is integrated into the output data file.<\/p>\n
\u2013 High-precision time resolution (5 min) in the measuring chamber over a wide temperature range (6\u201335 \u00b0C).<\/p>\n
\u2013 User-friendly and easy-to-use interface that allows full control of the system and data visualization.<\/p>\n
\u2013 The animal can be acclimatized to the environment, minimizing the effect of stress on the measured values.<\/p>\n
The device can only be reserved if you have this method included in a valid Project of Experiments. The sample text for the Animal Experiment Project is available on the Intranet in the section Animal Breeding \u2013 Experiment Projects<\/a>. Prior to the submission of a Project of Experiments, it is recommended that the design of experiments be discussed with the service department staff. If animals are to be measured repeatedly during the experiment, they may be housed in an on-site animal facility for the duration of the experiment.<\/p>\n Evaluation of respiratory quotient, energy expenditure, physical activity, and food intake at 5-minute, 12-hour, and 24-hour intervals are included in the service – Price list available on the Intranet in the section Animal Husbandry \u2013 Animals and Services \u2013 Services Provided.<\/p>\n Contact: Kristina Bardov\u00e1, tel. +420 241 063 707, email: kristina.bardova@fgu.cas.cz<\/a><\/p>\n
