Gas Analyzers
CWE offers a range of gas analyzers for respiratory physiology research that help to improve surgical survivability and validate respiratory status. Used for studies including hypoxia and control of breathing.
- CapStar-100 End-tidal CO2 Monitor – continuous measurement of expired CO2 (0-10 %) and Respiratory Rate. Features rapid response time, small sample flow requirements, and long-term stability. Ideal for rodent and larger animal studies.
- MicroCapStar End-Tidal CO2 Monitor For Mice – accurate end-tidal or continuous measurement of expired CO2. Features very low sample flow rates, rapid response time, and long-term stability.
- GEMINI O2 & CO2 Monitor – measures CO2, O2, and respiration rate of spontaneously breathing or ventilated animals. Breath-by-breath readings for end-tidal CO2 and O2 as well as IRR.
- OxyStar Fast Response O2 Monitor – fast-response, high accuracy for respiratory monitoring, hypoxic gas studies and general use. Measurement range 0 – 100% O2, resolution 0.1%, sample flow adjustable in 10 – 200ml/min range. For small and larger animals as well as human subjects.
- MM-100 Metabolic Monitor – a complete system for measuring oxygen consumption in small animals. Using latest technologies, it automatically computes O2 consumption, CO2 production and respiratory exchange ratios (RER).
- MMX Series Metabolic Monitor Expanders – expands the use of MM-100 Metabolic Monitor from a single cage to 2, 8, or 16 cages.
Temperature Control
The TC-1000 Temperature Controller systems for small animals monitors and controls body temperature during surgical procedures and anesthetization for good physiological health. Its DC proportional controller provides artifact-free heating using a resistive heating pad. Uses YSI-400 series thermistor temperature probes.
- TC-1000 Temperature Control System
- TC-1000 Mouse Temperature Control System
- TC-1000 Rat Temperature Control System
- TC-1000 Cat Temperature Control System

Gas Mixers
The TGSM-3 and GSM-4 Programmable Gas Mixers produce up to 4 user-defined gas mixtures. High-accuracy mass flow controllers (MFC’s) set the flow to each gas channel. GSM-Comm software allows automated, user-defined timed protocols for changing mixtures. The mixers operate as stand-alone unit or with GSM-Comm software for full remote-control.
- GSM-3 Three-Channel Gas Mixer – takes up to 3 input gasses and stores up to 3 user-defined gas mixtures
- GSM-4 Four-Channel Gas Mixer– takes up to 4 input gasses and stores up to 4 user-defined gas mixtures

Direct Blood Pressure
CWE offers several systems for direct blood pressure measurement – the gold standard for accurate BP measurement. The method is straightforward. Catheterization of a major artery is required. Interchangeable clinical-type transducers and easy connection to data acquisition systems.
- BP-100 Automated Direct BP Monitor – for use with small animals. Reports systolic, diastolic, and mean pressures, as well as heart rate (HR).
- TA-100 Single-Channel Transducer Amplifier – a compact, stand-alone amplifier for use with DC-bridge type transducers, including BP, air pressure, strain gages, force transducers, and accelerometers. Integrated LCD display.
- BPM-832 Pressure Monitor – two independent amplifier channels for bridge-type transducers, including BP, force, and acceleration. Channels provide low-pass filtering, adjustable DC balancing, and digital readout.
