Open-flow respirometry is a commonly used method for measuring bioenergy metabolism. It has long been favored by scientists in the fields of animal physiology and biomedicine in the world.
The American Sable Systems International brand represented by Beijing Yiketai Ecological Technology Co., Ltd. is a professional animal energy metabolism measurement technology company in the world. Its products are applied to many special breathing patterns of wild animals and various high performance, high resolution and other performances. Biological animals such as experimental animals and economic animals, such as insects with intermittent breathing, diving animals with explosive breathing, wild and experimental animals with specific behavioral metabolism, etc., and a large number of research literatures, experimental methods, and cases for reference.
In this case, the animal energy measurement technology was introduced in the case of the study of hummingbirds, snakes and lizards by the University of George Fox University's well-known animal energy laboratory Powers Research Lab ~ Studies in Animal Energetics (http://). This includes the selection of different SSI respiratory metabolic monitoring modules for different research animals, as well as the production of special breathing rooms.
The hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world. It weighs less than 2 grams and can hover in the air by quickly flapping its wings. It is also the only bird that can fly backwards. In order to maintain daily activities such as speed flight, up and down flight, high-speed dive, the energy consumption and food utilization efficiency of hummingbirds are very amazing.
As an authority on animal energy research, especially hummingbird metabolism research, dpowerslab Lab has purchased different SSI animal respiratory metabolic monitoring systems to meet the needs of different animal research, such as FOXBOX-C portable gas analyzer, which can be directly brought to the field. Measuring animal metabolic rate; Field Metabolic Systems portable animal metabolic instrument for monitoring animal energy metabolism and water metabolism; SSI modular animal respiratory metabolism measurement system, depending on the research purpose, select different differential oxygen analyzers, high sensitivity and resolution A module such as a temperature detector that studies the energy consumption of animals in different behavioral states. The flexibility of the breathing chamber allows SSI portable, modular metabolic measurement systems to study energetic studies from single fruit flies to large whales.
The following is a photo display of the SSI portable and modular animal metabolic measurement system used by the dpowerslab laboratory for hummingbirds, snakes and lizards:
