Sable Courses
We offer educational courses with hands-on curriculum designed to simplify the key concepts and best practice in metabolic and behavioral measurement.
This course is team-taught by a cross-functional group of Sable Systems Scientists and Engineers from the Research, Product Development, and Customer Support Departments. This group of experts will include Dr. John Lighton President/Chief Innovation Officer and author of more than 100 scientific publications on metabolism including the book “Measuring Metabolic Rates – a Manual for Scientists”.
Introduction to Respirometry Course
Our Introduction to Respirometry course teaches participants how to use indirect calorimetry. We will apply techniques for measuring real‐time O2 consumption, CO2 production, and water loss for subjects ranging from small invertebrates to large mammals.
High-Resolution Metabolic and Behavioral Phenotyping Course
The High-Resolution Metabolic and Behavioral Phenotyping course teaches participants how to comprehensively phenotype rodents by combining indirect calorimetry measurements with behavior measurements.
Advanced Analysis of Promethion Data with Open Source Tools
The course will provide metabolism researchers with the analytical and reporting skills needed to turn raw experimental measurements into clear metabolic and behavioral insights. Participants will learn to master best practices in data analysis, visualization and data reporting.
