1.5PSL probe for ascending aorta
Unprecedented Capability
Continuous real-time volume flow
measurements in ml/min in conscious and anesthetized models for calculation of cardiac output, stroke volume and vascular resistance.
The Smallest Flowprobes Imaginable!
Transonic 0.5PSB and 0.7PSB Precision
Flowprobes use nanofibrication techniques to photo-etch structures scaled to fit mouse anatomy.
Gold Standard Accuracy
Validated ultrasonic transit-time
technology: Waveforms demonstrate Transonic’s signature zero baseline stability and high resolution of flows less than 1 ml/min.
Nanoprobe with 5 cm handle for acute blood flow mapping in mice.
