solutions for researchers studying pulmonary function

emka TECHNOLOGIES provides a wide range of solutions for researchers studying pulmonary function.

Plethysmographs are available for measuring parameters from freely moving, conscious restrained or sedated animals (standard respiratory parameters, airway resistance and conductance, resistance/compliance).

Several add-on options are available for these plethysmographs including devices for exposure studies (aerosol, smoke or gas mixtures), vital signs monitoring, cough/sneeze detection and video recording.

emkaBELT is an option with emkaPACK noninvasive telemetry system for acquiring lung volume.

Our software suite includes iox for acquisition and real-time analysis and ecgAUTO for use with emkaBELT.

Thanks to our partnership with Scireq, we can also offer customers detailed setups for  measurement of respiratory mechanics (flexiVENT) or exposure studies (inExpose).

Please visit our minisite at pulmonary.emka.fr to find out more about how emka TECHNOLOGIES can help you perform pulmonary studies. The minisite contains further information about our different setups; how to find the right system for your needs; FAQs; literature to download; list of customers and how they are using our systems; acquired parameters etc.
