Blood Flow Systems

The ultrasonic flow sensor SONOFLOW CO.55 by Sonotec quickly detects the flow rate of liquids in tubes. Due to its construction the non-invasive clamp-on sensor is particularly suitable for applications in fields with strict hygienic standards. The tube is easily put into the sensor and enables a smooth and uncomplicated change.
The A-SONOTEC adaptor allows iWorx Data Recorders to record the data from the SONOFLOW CO.55

Blood Flow Software
LabScribe software is a powerful recording and analysis software package offered by iWorx. LabScribe has an intuitive, user-friendly interface for setting up acquisition screens, calibrating signals and analyzing data. Up to 128 channels of data can be displayed simultaneously at sampling rates as high as 100,000 samples/second.
A comprehensive set of analysis routines have been preconfigured making data analysis and interpretation quick and easy. Specific analysis modules for cardiovascular research are available to analyze pressure signals, blood flow data, ECG recordings, ventricular pressure-volume loops and sonomicrometry dimension data.
LabScribe includes a scripting function for use if the built-in analysis tools fall short of what is required for your application. Scripting languages currently supported include: Dadisp, Python, MatLab, LabView, and C++.

Transonic
Transonic Systems’ transit time technology has become the gold-standard in volume flow measurements. Probes range in size from several centimeters in diameter to less than 1 mm in diameter and can be used to accurately measure flow in large animals (renal arteries, aortic flow, coronary flow) as well in small animals (cardiac output in mice and rats).
Flow data can be acquired and analyzed in LabScribe providing measurements of stroke volume, heart rate, flow rate, mean flow, frequency, derivatives and integrals.
