Whole Body Calorimetry

The TSE LabMaster System is a modular system for metabolic and behavioral monitoring in mice. 

Measures include:

• Metabolic performance via indirect calorimetry – O₂ consumption & CO₂ production, Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER), Energy Expenditure (EE), etc.
• Drinking & feeding behavior with high-precision sensors: amount and time patterns, up to six sensors per cage, controlled food or liquid access per time or amount.
• Spontaneous home cage activity via sensor frames: total activity, ambulatory and fine movements, rearing
• Running wheel activity: voluntary or forced; options include: PC-controlled "enabled / disabled" function, workload control
• Standard home cage environment for unbiased, stress-free animal behavior
