Teaching: SI-200 Stimulus Isolator with Striated Muscle Transducer and Lab

The SI-200 is a high voltage, isolated stimulator designed to deliver safe, transcutaneous stimulus pulses to a nerve or a muscle being studied. The design of the SI-200 permits the desired current of the stimulus pulse to be generated despite the impedance on the path that the current follows.  The SI-200 adjusts the voltage needed to maintain that current automatically by increasing the voltage that drives the current up to a maximum of 150 volts.

Teaching:  GN-100 Goniometer with Lab

The GN-100 single-axis goniometer is a device that can easily measure the degrees of rotation around a joint.  The goniometer is composed of a stationary arm that is mounted on the part of the body that does not move, a moveable arm that is attached to the body part on the side of the joint that moves, and a sensor that generates a voltage output that is proportional to the angle between the two arms of the GN-100.

Research:  404 Recorder with LabScribe2 and Pressure Volume Loop Module

The iWorx 404 Recorder is an economical, general purpose data recorder and analysis module that is plug and play compatible for use with any analog amplifiers, probes, transducers, or other accessories. The recorder offers 16-bit data collection at speeds up to 10 KHz, providing acquisition speeds appropriate for most research applications.   

The 404 recorder comes with an optional Pressure Volume Loop Module that provides a powerful and easy to use tool for investigators to measure and analyze the hemodynamic parameters of cardiac and pulmonary pressure and volume data acquired by an iWorx recorder for animal investigations. The plug-in software module is compatible with iWorx data acquisition systems.

The Pressure Volume Loop Module for LabSribe2 can be purchased separately as well as an ASCII Text Import Module for LabScribe2 that allows import of text files recorded in other recording programs into LabScribe2 for analysis
