MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS FOR BIO SCIENCES

Open flume tank system for force-swimming individuals or groups of zebrafish fry-juveniles (or similar) in a controlled recti-linear flow. Water velocity can be adjusted from 2-28 cm/s with a diaphragm valve or by changing the (included) pump flow rate. The exact flow is monitored in real-time with an inline paddlewheel (inductive) flow sensor and a transmitter with a digital display. Swimming animals can be filmed from left and right as well as from above and below. The open test section makes it easy to add or remove specimens. Typical applications include zebrafish phenotyping, swimming performance, exercise physiology, behavior etc. in freshwater or seawater species.

NOTE: The diaphragm valve and paddlewheel flow sensor is included. Mesh diameter size (in honeycomb and metal mesh) can be changed upon request. Contact us for more information.

Animal ID made easy! This ergonomic but robust handheld PIT reader is splash-proof (IP65) and made for challenging environments like fish science or aquaculture applications.

PIT tag data are transferred to the PC via USB or Bluetooth, and in addition the device can store up to 100.000 records in several groups in the large internal memory. Each record also contains a timestamp plus a Visual ID and an Alert, if available.

The reader has a large color display which can show many information at one glance. Together with the seven keys, it allows the easy and convenient navigation through menus and data. In addition, the device has status LEDs above the display for indicating charging- and interface status plus the reading status. The integrated speaker provides acoustical feedback to the user and the vibrating motor is very useful in noisy environments.

Weight data can be imported from all major brands of scales via Bluetooth and it can be recorded in combination with the Animal ID in TASKs.

The following accessories are included in the set:

• PIT reader
• USB-A to Magnetic-Connector cable
• USB power supply
• Car charger (12VDC)
• Suitcase
• Software for Windows

Sterile pack with one pre-loaded syringe needle implanter with one PIT tag (FDX-B) encapsulated in bio compatible glass for animal identification.
