Deriving the Respirometry Equations
This video demonstrates the algebraic derivations of the mathematical equations required to calculate oxygen consumption and carbon-dioxide release in both push and pull respirometry systems.
Gas Sensors for Respirometry
This video discusses the types of sensors and their underlying theories of operation for the measurements of aerial oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor in respirometry systems.
Installing and Using the Sable Systems Isotope Analyzer
This video provides step-by-step instructions on how to install and use the Sable Systems Stable Isotope Analyzer in combination with the Promethion Core Metabolic and Behavioral Measurement System. Instruction includes plumbing, wiring, software, data interface, and accessing and viewing data files.
A Brief Introduction to IM3 – Status Messages
This video is designed to help researchers recognize and correct “out of range” status messages and ensure that their system consistently yields reliable data.
IM3 Automatic Calibration Procedure
This video demonstrates how to configure the Promethion Core combined gas and flow system for automatic calibration.
Setting up a Small Animal Respirometry System: Adding Oxygen Measures
This video demonstrates how to add an oxygen analyzer downstream from the carbon dioxide analyzer, a carbon dioxide and water vapor scrubber between the two analyzers, and a data acquisition connection to record oxygen data.
Setting up a Small Animal Respirometry System: The Expedata Setup File
This video demonstrates how to properly configure the respirometry system setup file to accurately acquire data, record data, and control key components of the system.
