The MC-140Peak and MC-520Peak systems are small animal metabolic chambers suitable for recording and measuring:
- Respiratory Quotient (RQ)
- RER
- O2 consumed and CO2 expired.
Each system includes:
- IX-PeakĀ Recorder and Gas Analyzer
- LabScribe Software with the Metabolic Calculations Module
- A-CAL-200 Calibration Kit
The MC-140Peak has a 1.4 Liter chamber and the MC-520Peak has a 5.2 Liter chamber; each come with a tray and tubing.
