Features

  • System analyzers designed specifically for metabolic measurement, as compared to repurposed industrial gas analyzers used by other systems 
  • Versatile system can quickly be modified for use with mask or canopy configurations for specialized measurements
  • Highly integrated, temperature-stabilized design provides robust and reliable operation
  • Pull mode design simplifies converting existing room into a calorimetry chamber
  • Direct water vapor measurement and compensation using Dalton’s Law – no failure-prone water vapor scrubbers
  • Monitors input and output air streams for precise gas analysis
  • Background baselining provides uninterrupted data acquisition 
  • System validation can be performed using either methanol, ethanol, butane, propane-burn or nitrogen dilution

Description

Sable System’s Promethion whole room indirect calorimetry system synchronously records all measured parameters in a completely traceable manner. Key components of this system include the GA-3m2 triple gas O2, CO2, and H2O dual path analyzer with FG-250 flow generator, providing a compact and complete respirometry system.

WORLDWIDE INSTALLATIONS

More than any other company, for example:

  • University of Colorado Medical School
  • Columbia University, NYC
  • University of California Davis
  • St. Luke’s Hospital, NYC
  • University of Hohenheim, Germany
  • Christian Albrecht’s University, Kiel Germany
  • K’naan Diet, Israel
  • Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana

Optional Components

Canopy with Veil
for metabolic measurement during rest in non-whole room environment

Two-Way Non-Rebreathing Mask
for metabolic measurement during exercise in non-whole room environment

ESA Environmental Sensor Array
provides real-time measurements of humidity, barometric pressure, temperature, light, movement, and sound within the room

By Scientists, for Scientists

Sable room calorimetry systems are designed by our team of published scientific experts in metabolic measurement. Sable founder, John R. Lighton, PhD, wrote the book on metabolic measurement: Measuring Metabolic Rates – A Manual for Scientists. Our support team is comprised of PhD-level specialists to support you from initial system configuration, through installation, training and ongoing use.

Sable Enables…

High Definition Analysis – Exclusive SableHD™ high definition digital technology provides industry-leading accuracy, highest sampling rate, and unbeatable resolution of rapidly changing metabolic data.

Integration and Expandability – Fully-integrated Promethion systems optimize overall performance, provide turn-key operation, and allow expandability as your needs change.

Preservation of Raw Data – Your actual study data is preserved in its original form with up to 1-second resolution, ensuring full traceability for GLP compliance or peer review. Other systems untraceably alter then discard your raw data, preventing study validation or re-analysis.

Water Vapor Compensation – Sable indirect calorimetry systems measure water vapor dilution directly, eliminating sample gas drying and significantly increasing accuracy.

Pull-Mode Indirect Calorimetry – Secures greater accuracy and animal safety. Without a sealed cage prone to deteriorating seals, errors caused by “push-mode” leaks are eliminated. Your animal is in a low-stress environment, safeguarded in the event of a power failure.

Home Cage Advantage – Minimizes stress effects and their attendant metabolic/biochemical artifacts.
