Metabolism Monitoring System

Device Introduction

• Metabolite separation: PVC material separator, separate urine and feces accurately, convenient for urine and feces biochemical analysis.
• Gas metabolism module: Gas metabolism module is optional, for analyzing animal oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production.
• Monitoring of Drinking/Eating: High-precision sensors, accurate to 0.01g, real-time detection of animal drinking and eating in different periods.
• Specially food trough, food net, barrier bar design to prevent food spilling and excrement mixed.
• Food and water can be added at any time without interrupting the experiment, and easy to disassemble and clean.
• Precise sensor with accuracy 5mm; and can conduct multiple channels of metabolism monitoring.
• Metabolism device equips with ultra-quiet cryogenic module for storage of metabolite, preventing urine volatilization, biochemical reactions and the decomposition of compounds.

Software Introduction

• Software can supports up to 12 metabolism cages. 96 can be customized.
• Automatically calculates the activity based on the animal’s movement trajectory.
• Position tracking adopts depth classification model and position sensitive model algorithm, which achieves high-speed and accurate tracking effect, with detection accuracy 5mm. The activity of the rodent can be counted separately in X, Y, Z axis, total activity and separate activity of each axis can be counted and the number/time of standing can be recorded.
• Automatically records and displays the data in real time, users can review freely.
• Data analysis, screening, user-defined time section analysis, one-click data result export can be achieved by our software controller.
• Animal information can be edited freely, containing group, gender, age and weight.
