PhysioTel® Transmitter Specifications
Scientists are able to study a number of physiological parameters in laboratory mice using DSI PhysioTel® Transmitters. DSI offers different implantable transmitters to measure different parameters including pressure and activity; temperature and activity; biopotentials and activity; as well as transmitters that measure a combination of pressure, biopotentials, temperature and activity.
DSI implantable telemetry transmitters have been, and continue to be, used in studies involving mice such as telemetric recordings of sleep and home cage activity, abnormal heart rate and body temperature in mice lacking thyroid hormone receptor x1, the effects of triiodothyronine on heart rate, and numerous other studies.
All of DSI’s PhysioTel® Transmitters are implantable and capable of measuring activity. The design of the transmitter shape allows for subcutaneous or intraperitoneal placement and PhysioTel® transmitters can be re-sterilized between uses, extending their implant life and reducing costs.
| The PhysioTel® PA series transmitters measure pressure and activity in mice. A specially designed pressure transmission catheter transfers pressure from the tip of the catheter to a pressure sensor located in the transmitter body. Examples of pressures measured with PhysioTel® PA series transmitters include arterial, ocular, uterine, penile, bladder, pleural and left ventricular. Other parameter data such as heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean pressure can also be collected. The PhysioTel® PA-C10 model is used in mice. |

| The PhysioTel® TA series transmitters measure temperature and activity in mice. Researchers find these transmitters ideal for studies requiring long-term stability. The long battery life and exceptional reliability of PhysioTel® TA series transmitters reduce operating expenses and allow for extended research protocols in aging, chronobiology and other studies without the need for repeat surgery. The PhysioTel® TA-F20 model is used in mice. |

| The PhysioTel® EA, CA, ETA and CTA series transmitters measure biopotentials such as ECG, EEG and EMG as well as temperature and activity in mice. These transmitters have flexible leads similar to those used in heart pacemakers, extending from the transmitter body. Each lead consists of a helix of special stainless steel wire covered with an insulating layer of silicone tubing. Once the silicone tubing is removed, the tips of the leads serve as sensing electrodes. The PhysioTel® EA-F20 and ETA-F20 models are used in mice. |

| The PhysioTel® Multiplus series transmitters measure combinations of biopotentials, temperature and activity. These transmitters are capable of measuring multiple physiological parameters simultaneously. The PhysioTel® F20-EET model is used in mice. |
