DETAILED INTRODUCTION
The MouseOX Plus is the second generation of the original pulse oximeter for mice and rats. The MouseOx Plus measures heart rate, arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), breath rate, and temperature* of anesthetized & conscious mice and rats neonate-adult.
The MouseOx Plus is the second generation of the original pulse oximeter for mice, rats and other small animals. It is clinically validated and has been used and cited in a multitude of published studies.
- Noninvasive Physiological Monitor

-
- Breath Distension – Change in arteries at the sensor site sue to breathing
-
- Temperature – Monitor subject core body temperature using the temperature probe
-
- Activity – Monitoring gross motion of a subject over a period of time
