Courses and Conferences Calendar
This respirometry course – held in Las Vegas, NV – teaches participants how to use indirect calorimetry in metabolic screening. We will apply techniques for measuring real-time O2 consumption, CO2 production and water vapor loss for laboratory rodents. Measurement systems also include food & water intake, body mass monitoring, wheel running and voluntary activity. Data analysis is a significant focus.
Hands On: The course leads participants through all steps of setting up apparatus, configuring data acquisition, acquiring data, and analyzing data with the Promethion metabolic screening system.
Cost: $2,830 per participant. Included in this fee are all laboratory costs and course materials.
Course Materials: All coursework materials are provided including copies of all presentations.
This respirometry course – held in Las Vegas, NV – teaches participants how to measure metabolic rates using indirect calorimetry. We will apply techniques for measuring real-time O2 consumption, CO2 production and water vapor loss for subjects ranging from small invertebrates to large mammals. Participants can work with single animal and high through-put systems in both open-flow and stop-flow.
Hands On: The course leads participants through all steps of setting up apparatus, configuring data acquisition, acquiring data, and analyzing data both manually and automatically.
Cost: $2,140 per participant. Included in this fee are all laboratory costs and course materials.

The course teaches participants how to use Promethion Core for the metabolic and behavioral phenotyping of mice and rats. The participants will learn how to comprehensively phenotype rodents by combining indirect calorimetry measurements with behavior measurements. Behavior measurements include food & water intake, wheel running, and general activities such as walking or resting. The use of accessory devices such as a metabolic treadmill and a stable isotope analyzer will also be taught.
Cost: $3,423 per participant. Included in this fee are all laboratory costs, course materials, lunches, one-on-one data analysis, review and discussion with our in-house experts, a signed copy of Dr. Lighton’s book, and many extras.
