Choosing the appropriate series, size and style probe for your application will enhance the absolute accuracy of the flow measurement. Big size probes available for vessels up to 20 mm.

	Perivascular Probe selection Code = MA XX Y Where instead of “XX” you have to insert the desired probe size in steps starting from 0,25 mm diameter up to 20 mm. Instead of “Y” you have to insert the selectedcable exit type where B = Back or S = side (lateral)
Probes can then present different types of reflectors and closing systems around the vessels. Easier to let us know the purpose of your experiment (vessel to be measured, animal used, weight of the animal, etc. and we will provide a list of suitable probes among them you can select the most appropriate ones.

LASER DOPPLER FLOW-METERS

TRANSONIC BLF Laser Doppler Unit Transonic Systems' BLF 21-Series perfusion monitors measure microcirculation in 1 cubic mm of tissue for real-time assessment of perfusion in patients. Flowmeters monitor the effects of excercise, drug treatments, environmental or physical manipulations on target microvascular beds. Dual channel units can monitor an experimental tissue along with a control or a second area of affected tissue. Two basic styles of Laser Doppler Probes are available: those for acute use and the chronic application probe. Continuous measurements can be taken in skin with surface probes: intraopertively in organs with surface, straight or needle probes: and internally with endoscopic probes. The mono-fiber probe can be used to measure perfusion with fibers inplanted in tissue of lab animals. Click here for more information

- Needle Probes 0,5 and 1 mm diameter - Surface probes from 5 to 15 mm in diameter

BIOPAC Laser Doppler Amplifier and Probes (MP100 Biopac Unit Required) BIOPAC LDF100C is a laser Doppler tissue perfusion monitor for measuring micro-vascular blood flow in tissue. The LDF100C module delivers a low power beam of laser light down an optical fiber to the tissue being studied; typically, the volume of tissue sampled by the light is in the order of 1mm3. The LDF100C module analyzes the Doppler shift created by moving red blood cells and outputs a channel indicating blood flow expressed in Blood Perfusion Units (BPU). On a second channel the LDF100C simultaneously outputs the tissue remittance (Backscatter) from 0 to 100%. Up to four LDF100C modules can be used with a single MP System. The TSD140 series surface probes are designed for skin and exposed tissue blood flow monitoring. All surface probes are made from black Delrin®. The signal delivery fiber intersects the probe body at a right angle, making the probes easy to secure to the skin or tissue surface. The TSD140 series needle probes are designed for invasive and endoscopic blood flow monitoring of tissue. The signal delivery fiber terminates straight into the top of the needle, making the probes easy to insert into tissue.

Optic Fiber probes available for both Transonic and Biopac Laser Doppler Flow-Meter Units All the Flow-Meters Units can be connected to PC via the BIOPAC Software (see correspond. section)

DMT Myograph Systems DMT A/S develops and produces equipments for customers with the field of cardiovascular research in both the public and private sector. The equipment is used primarily for pharmacological and physiological studies of arteries and veins. Danish Myo Technology A/S (former J.P. Trading) is a medical- and biotechnology company with more than twenty years of experience in the development and manufacture of myograph equipment designed for the in vitro assessment of vascular structure and function. Historically, myography development closely mirrors the scientific discoveries of the 1980s and 1990s when the basic mechanisms underlying the development of vascular changes in hypertension, diabetes and atherosclerosis were elucidated. Basing our designs and techniques on the methodologies of Professor M. J. Mulvany (Inst. of Pharmacology, University of Aarhus, Denmark), we have integrated the needs of the user with first class mechanical, electronical and software engineering to become one of the worlds leading designers and manufactures of wire, pressure and perfusion myographs. - Examination of small Vessel/Arteries with diameters ranging from 60 micron to around 3 mm.

Pressure Myograph for Rapid Freezing - 115FP This pressure myograph chamber is designed for biochemical or morphological studies where rapid freezing of the vessel is frequently required. This chamber is ideal for rapid freezing of a cannulated and pressurized vessel for biochemical studies, or for quick transfer from a physiological solution into a fixative for morphological studies. The experimental chamber is made of stainless steel. A window at the base of the chamber allows the vessel dimensions to be digitized for analysis of diameter etc. The adjoining chamber, which is removable, is used for freezing or adding other fixing solutions. By raising the segment holder and thus the vessel and its tubing, the chamber stage can be moved to the side, for rapid or instant freezing or removing of the vessel segment for later analysis. This process can be done in less than a second. This chamber can be obtained as a complete setup - similiar the 110P, or as an add-on to the 110P
