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.
