Experimetria

TRANSDUCERS AND SENSORS

Experimetria offers a wide variety of research transducers for blood pressure and force/displacement as well as research sensors for temperature and respiration.

BPR-01 and BPR-02 are a reusable blood pressure transducers. Durable and highly accurate, utilizing four semiconductor strain gauges bonded directly to the sensing diaphragm, the innovative design results in low volume displacement, virtually eliminating overshoot, and high stability with extraordinarily low drift. BPR-01 is dome-type. BPR-02 is open at both ends. Designed for use with the HG blood pressure gauge universal DC bridge amplifier.

Note that these are isotonic transducers, which move (as opposed to isometric transducers, which do not move). In the event of concerns about motion artifacts for applications such as optical sampling, consider the force and displacement range of your experiment when selecting the appropriate transducer for minimum motion effects.

FSG-02 implantable force/displacement transducers are designed for use in-vivo. They directly measure contractions and can be chronically implanted. Available in three different sizes for use in various animal species, they have an arch shape and each of the four corners has a hole for suturing the gauge to the organ wall. Recommended applications: heart, trachea, intestines, esophagus, stomach, uterus and bladder. Designed for use with the SG strain gauge universal DC bridge amplifier.
