Aging, Health and Lifespan Metabolic Studies

Metabolic measurement plays a critical role in aging research as the community seeks to understand the healthspan and lifespan trade-offs of the aging process. Recent integrated research from model animals to humans has applied indirect calorimetry to further understand the relationship of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and diabetes to senescence. From such a research platform we can better consider which interventions can effectively mitigate age related disease.

Drosophila Metabolic Screening System

Depending on the method used, Sable Drosophila metabolic screening systems are capable of measuring the metabolic rates of small groups of Drosophila, or even of individual Drosophila in real time. This unique ... (more)

MAVEn™ System for Small Insect Flow-Through Respirometry

The Sable MAVEn™ system is an integrated, compact 16-channel flow generator for small insect flow-through respirometry. Each flow is pushed through a sealed container holding a subject animal. The system automatically selects ... (more)

Promethion High-Definition Behavioral Phenotyping System for Rats

The Promethion line features the modular flexibility to support real-time behavioral studies in a home-cage setting with a small sample size or large-scale neurophysiological, pharmacokinetic and toxicological studies. Our high-definition behavioral phenotyping ... (more)

Promethion High-Definition Continuous Respirometry System for Mice

When high temporal resolution is critical, so is the selection of a “continuous” system for indirect calorimetry measurements. Similar to the Promethion multiplexed systems, this high-definition continuous system for mice combines ultra-high ... (more)
