Promethion ACI-12 Interface

Promethion ACI-12 InterfaceJeff Richardson2019-07-31T19:08:18-07:00

The ACI-12m1 interface is a versatile data acquisition and instrument control interface with the capability of converting eight BNC bipolar -5V to +5V inputs and four BNC unipolar 0 – 5V inputs into a digital format. Using Sable’s proprietary CAN Bus Protocol direct digital data transfer, each ACI-12m1 captures up to 12 analog inputs from a wide variety of 3rd party sensors, measurement devices, scales or environmental monitoring devices. Converted data is concurrently collected into a single file along with subject respirometry or behavioral data collected while using Sable’s Promethion line of world class metabolic measurement systems. The ACI-12m3 interface offers 3 parallel input arrays, in contrast to one for the ACI-12m1, allowing for 36 analog inputs.

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.
