The e-cigarette aerosol exposure apparatus studies the acute and chronic effects of repeated daily smoking of e-cigarette aerosols by repeatedly exposing rodents to a cage-like environment. It provides a powerful tool for in vivo research on the effects of e-cigarettes on cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological systems, metabolism, and carcinogenesis and promotes new therapeutic discoveries. Meanwhile, research on e-cigarette addiction will have a significant impact on nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for smoking cessation.
Product Features
The animal models are established in an environment similar to human smoking, including administration routes, physical properties (water vapor or aerosols), drug metabolism, and drug target tissue concentrations.
Simulate human e-cigarette smoking behavior
Dose control – types, quantities, exposure times, intervals, and frequencies of electronic cigarettes are controllable.
Direct Transmission of Aerosols
Real e-cigarette exposure environment, aerosols, air
The aerosol atomizer is directly connected to the cylindrical chamber
Simultaneous transmission of multiple e-cigarette systems can achieve higher aerosol concentrations
Parallel experiments on different electronic cigarettes
There is fresh air flow between aerosol transmission, providing normal breathing for experimental animals
The program can sustain 72 hours of exposure, simulating sleep, conscious states, and aerosol inhalation scenarios during the day and night.
Can be used with physiological telemetry systems
Remote measurement of blood pressure in freely moving animals, ECG
Can support 5 mice or 1 rat at one time
