Onset of fever analysis

In this document, you will understand how IOX software acquires and analyzes the onset of fever in laboratory animals.
Respiratory applications
easySYNC – Benefits

Benefits With its modular design, easySYNC provides synchronized behavioral and physiological recordings. Synchronized Use of EMKA’ easySYNC and Noldus’ USB-IO box allow for synchronized behavioral and physiological recordings, enabling a new opportunity for researchers whose applications span both fields of study. For example, you can now collect physiological endpoints (i.e. ECG/EEG/EMG, blood pressure, temperature, activity) […]
Star Oddi – Techniques and Measurement
Techniques & Measurements Implanted telemetry Physiological measurements are captured by a logger surgically implanted in the subject, and wirelessly transmitted to a transreceiver module (RF box), through an antenna, both being attached to the cage. Up to 10 subjects can be housed in the same cage. When received by the RF box, physiological signals are […]

Interview with Brent Barre

Brent Barre is a research associate with Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute where he currently works with multiple SARS-CoV2 virus studies, in addition to other infectious diseases as well as chemical agents.
We are pleased to share an interview with Brent, who kindly gave us some of his valuable time to share his thoughts about his current research.
Interview with David Poulsen

Dr. Poulsen was an incredible researcher, collaborator and friend to all of us at emka. He worked in the Neurosurgery Department, in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. His research focus was the post-traumatic epilepsy and potential induced seizures.
Dr. Poulsen shared his thoughts about his work during an interview in 2020.
