Mouse Biopotential (ECG, EMG, EEG) Telemeter
The MT10B mouse biopotential telemeter provides high-quality data with a sampling rate up to 2 kHz for mice > 22 grams. Each telemeter allows for a single biopotential measurement, such as ECG, EMG or EEG. The single-use telemeter is shipped sterile and ready for implantation. It has a unique contoured design for smoother subcutaneous implantation and minimal tissue irritation, curving to follow the contour of the flank of the mouse. The total telemeter volume is 1.8 cc.
The telemeter does not contain a battery and remains charged through inductive wireless power transfer when within a 7 cm vertical range of the tBase. This allows mice to roam freely in their cages.
The mouse biopotential telemeter requires the use of a tBase (MT110) and Configurator System (TR190 and ConfigSoft).
The telemeter weighs approximately 3.0 grams (1.8 cc) with biopotential electrode leads of 8 cm long. The telemeter can transmit data 24/7 when used with the tBase.
