Harvard Apparatus is proud to introduce the new Homeothermic Monitoring System; a closed loop temperature control system for small rodents.
Utilizing a small, flexible rectal probe to monitor the animal’s core temperature and a heating pad to provide heat input, the subject’s core body temperature can be accurately controlled.
An easy to use LCD touch screen allows users to set a target temperature and clearly view the subject’s current core body temperature as well as the set temperature at all times. Audible alarms advise the user should the animal’s core body temperature deviate 2° from the set temperature. Heating pads are available in three sizes to fit all surgical needs.
