Additional Smoke Generator Solutions

Tobacco Smoke Generator
A completely automated solution that requires no on-site operator. Simply load the cigarettes, press "Start" and the system will run unattended. Captures direct and indirect smoke to the inhalation tower or mass dosing chambers. Configured to smoke 80 and up to 300 cigarettes in one go.

Individual E-Cigarette, Vape Pen or Tobacco Puff Generator 
A turn-key system for basic and in-depth research using traditional cigarettes or electronic cigarettes, including JUUL and NJOY brands.

Induce and Monitor Sleep Apnea

DSI’s Buxco research solutions measure various respiratory endpoints and enable apnea detection within the software platform. Whole body plethysmography (WBP) is the most commonly used solution for obstructive and central sleep apnea research, as it allows the animal to roam freely and sleep naturally. Researchers are able to induce hypoxia and incorporate third party gas analyzers, as well as integrate other physiologic collection methods, such as hardwired or wireless EEG/EMG, to assess and correlate sleep parameters with apneic episodes. 

Experience Improved Apnea Detection and Analysis
in FinePointe 2.7
This new feature allows the user to define an apnea by either an “Absolute Breath Duration Threshold”, a percent increase in duration from a “Normalized Breath Duration Threshold”, or both, further enhancing overall criteria definition, improving overall apnea scoring success.

Implantable and External Telemetry for
Cardiovascular and Respiratory Research 

DSI’s telemetry platform allows researchers to measure unstressed physiological endpoints for a more complete picture of whole body responses. Continuously collect endpoints such as ECG, heart rate, blood pressure, left ventricular pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure, respiratory rate, respiratory impedance, pleural pressure, diaphragmatic EMG, glucose, and more!

Telemetry is the gold standard technique in whole body preclinical research to monitor baseline physiology with absolute or relative changes. It provides researchers with the most valuable data achievable in acute or chronic studies. Better data comes from monitoring animals in their home cages with little to no handling, decreasing stress response and leading to more reliable data.
