VJ Instruments Plethysmometer instrument consists of a water filled U shaped glass cell into which rat paw is dipped. On the other side of unit camera is fixed.
With the help of VJ’s Plethysmometer video analysis software accurate measurement of paw swelling(edema) that is pathologically or artificially induced is done.
In comparison with other Digital Plethysmometer, VJ Instruments Digital Plethysmomter use advance imaging technology. By using camera
and software we directly calculate paw volume. Following are the list of features:
Simple user interface
Water loss correction provision for each reading
Image based technology
Foot switch (USB foot switch)
User friendly computer software
Accuracy – 0.01 ml
35mm tube diameter for rats & mice (Optional 25mm tube diameter also available)
No need of Sensors (it will avoid cost of replacement of sensor)
