Apparatus and Equipment
The Metabolic Measurement System is a small portable unit with a solid case with a handle for maximum portability that can be used on-site under various complex field environmental conditions. The system features a control unit with an integrated touchscreen GUI that simultaneously displays oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor pressure, atmospheric pressure, and humidity in real-time. Using the accompanied software package, experiments online or offline. The offline data can be exported to software on the PC for further analysis. This system can be fully integrated with
Maze Engineers Metabolic Treadmill, cages, and
metabolic cages
Subject’s activity using the Metabolic Measurement System can be tracked using a video trackings software package such as Noldus
EthoVision,
ANY-Maze, or
BehaviorCloud.
Software
This device offers capabilities for protocol configuration and result monitoring. Utilizing PC software, users can conveniently view and analyze outcomes. The software on the PC provides two operational modes: real-time protocol execution and result exportation. It also facilitates storage of extensive datasets and effortless data exportation via an integrated USB drive.
Data Analysis
The following parameters can be observed using the Metabolic Measurement System:
- O2 consumption per unit time, accuracy to 1ml
- CO2 production per unit time, accuracy to 1ml
- Respiratory entropy (RQ)
- Respiratory exchange rate (RER)
- Energy consumption
- Metabolic rate (MR)
- Temperature, accuracy 0.1°C; humidity accuracy ±1% RH; air pressure, accuracy 0.075%
