Mouse Phenotyping Core: Tail-cuff blood pressure measurement

TA dedicated suite houses two Visitech BP-2000 blood pressure analysis systems each one having the capacity to measure the systolic blood pressure of 6 mice simultaneously. The tail cuff non-invasive blood pressure measuring system is used as a complementary method to the telemetry system.  

Monitor Parameters:

1. Arterial blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, mean)
2. Heart Rate
