SKU: 37300

Product Code:37300

Category: Pain and Inflammation

Provides simple, reliable and precise calibration for Ugo Basile Plantar Test & Tail Flick and other infrared (I.R.) analgesia meters.

Detailed description +-

Background

Calibrates infrared (I.R.) sources, such as the Ugo Basile Tail Flick and Plantar Test.
Knowing the I.R. energy (1mW for the duration of 1s corresponds to 1mJ) in absolute terms, is a useful datum to compare with any equal or different method/instrument described in the literature.

Product features

The Radiometer is useful for customers using Tail-Flick and Plantar Test equipment. Over the course of one-two years, there can be a 2-3 % reduction in I.R. intensity due to such factors as dust on the optics, darkening of the I.R. bulb or accidental knocks, and the equipment will need calibration. Calibration is also required if the bulb is replaced or the electronics serviced.
The Radiometer enables the experimenter to check and adjust, if necessary, the I.R. emission.
Ensures delivery of the same power flux (expressed in mW per square cm) and therefore a nociceptive stimulus of the same intensity.
Each system is supplied with I.R. Probe, Digital Meter and adaptors for Tail Flick and Plantar Test in a sturdy plastic storage case with foam lining to keep all parts secure.

Features & Benefits +-

Feature	Benefits
Calibrate IR emission of Tail Flick and Plantar Test	The same instrument to calibrate two IR-emitting devices
Provides a measure of stimulus intensity in mW/cm2	Assures that IR emission of all instruments is at the same level

Application +-

The design of a simple and reliable I.R. Radiometer has been made possible by the availability of miniature flat “temperature gradient sensors”, whose out-put signal is proportional to the temperature difference between their top and bottom surface.
