  • No consumables or external calibration required

Description

Real-time measurement of discrete, small quantities of methane

The new Promethion Methane Gas Analyzer is a cutting-edge upgrade to our Promethion™ Core systems. Our methane analyzer is the only one available with the resolution and sensitivity to meet the demanding application of flow through respirometry. The methane analyzer data is synchronously added to the Promethion Core metabolic and behavioral data as well as the Promethion Stable Isotope Analyzer data.

Methane production from 5 mice. Mice 1 and 5 produced methane whereas mice 2, 3 and 4 produced almost no methane and no episodic releases.

Using this device with Promethion Core and the Stable Isotope Analyzer, a myriad of metabolic studies are now available including experimental manipulations of diet, pharmaceuticals, microbiome, transgenics, exercise, thermal exposure, age, and sex. For gnotobiotic studies, mice can be housed in our pathogen free isolation cages.

Experimental metrics include the number and magnitude of individual methane events, constitutive methane production, and cumulative methane production.

Human and other large animals – Measure constitutive methane production from breath in real time

Methane (red) and carbon dioxide (blue) production from a human before, during and after exercise. Both gasses were sampled continuously.

The Methane Analyzer can be coupled with the FMS indirect calorimetry system or the Promethion Room Calorimetry system for humans or when high resolution flow through measurements are required. The gas collection interface can be a mask, canopy, or custom enclosure.

Sable Enables

Trust In Your Data – Exclusive SableHD™ high-definition digital technology provides industry-leading accuracy, highest sampling rate, and unbeatable resolution of rapidly changing metabolic data. And you get the full benefits of Promethion technology, including preservation of raw data, water vapor compensation, pull mode indirect calorimetry and the Sable home cage advantage.

Confidence in Your Experiments – Promethion Core system stability and precision provide comparable data year after year. This enables longitudinal studies over the life span of your mice or rats.

Actionable Intelligence – Promethion Live software empowers you with real-time animal and system information needed to make key decisions at any time from your authorized desktop or mobile device. If the health and welfare of an animal changes, you’ll know the moment it happens.  By monitoring activity, ingestive behavior and weight change, you know when to make adjustments. Continuous monitoring of all system components empowers you with total experimental control.

More with Less – High resolution centralized analyzers and innovative design give Promethion Core™ the ability to run more metabolic cages at a lower cost. The compact design saves valuable lab space.

Ease of Maintenance –Quickly turnaround experiments using saved prior configurations as templates for new studies. Innovative design provides efficient animal management, cage maintenance, and system cleaning.
