Background

  • Evaluates the spasm-inducing effect of drugs having a very wide range of action, not necessarily on respiratory dynamics.
  • A useful research tool for screening substances inducing the opposite effect, both those causing active bronchodilation in basal conditions and those antagonizing test drugs such as histamine, bradykinin, etc.
  • The experimental layout follows the well-known Konzett-Roessler arrangement with the anaesthetized subject breathing via a reciprocating pump, according to Starling’s mode of operation.

 

Quick assessment, high precision

  • Provides a simple and reliable method to assess airflow resistance, enabling a quick assessment of the effect of bronchodilators agents. 
  • Records the volume with a precision of 0.1ml.
  • Essentially comprises an air flow meter with a water inlet valve and adjustable pressure threshold. The compact measuring device is made from durable Perspex. The controls are conveniently located in a separate electronic enclosure.
  • Create a complete set-up by adding optional animal ventilator and DataCapsule-Evo Recorder or other data acquisition systems.
  • Simple and reliable method to assess airflow resistance
  • The effect of bronchodilators agents is quickly assessed
  • The new model records the volume (with a precision of 0.1ml)
  • A complete set-up includes optional animal ventilator and to a data acquisition system (or chart recorder)
