Technical Library

The Sable Systems Technical Library contains useful articles about our products, their applications, and allied subjects. Below are a few public Technical Library items, but most are restricted to registered Sable Systems users.

Accuracy vs. Resolution	Teaching vs. Research, The Cost of Cheapness, And Other Issues to Consider In Gas Analyzers
Altitude & Barometric Pressure	Barometric Pressure vs. Altitude Table
Measurement Guide	Electronics, PH, temperature, light, pressure, humidity, magnetics, and more
Disabling the Multiplexer's "Purge" Facility	To avoid the decline in oxygen concentrations (and buildup of carbon dioxide concentrations) that occur when an animal is enclosed in its sealed respirometer chamber by the respirometer multiplexer, you need to take advantage of an ingenious feature it ha
Scrubbing CO2 from Air	For obtaining real-time metabolic data on small animals, especially arthropods, CO2 emission rate is often the only practical variable to measure.
Span Gases - Where To Get Them And How To Use Them	All gas analyzers must be calibrated regularly. Most analyzers require zero calibration and span calibration.
Using the AD-2 Activity Detector	The AD-2 activity detector is an absolute requirement for the measurement of reliable "standard" metabolic rates in arthropods or other small animals.
Using the MAD-1 Motion/Activity Detector	The MAD-1 activity detector is an absolute requirement for the measurement of reliable basal metabolic rates in animals from mouse to rat size (and above).
