ADVANCED DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY FOR TODAY'S DEMANDING RESEARCH

* Enables accurate, reproducible direct measurement of experimental effects on heart mechanics, with instanta-neous analysis and display of 10 parameters.

* Fast data sampling rate detects fast responses and longer-term trends.

* An extremely affordable nanoliter-volume transducer enables use with small or larger animals. However, any transducer, including "tip" transducers, can be used with the HPA-400.

* Low-noise, high-frequency system precisely analyzes for MAX dP/dt, MAX dP/dt/P and the pressures at which they occur - critical indicators of heart muscle contraction.

* Negative MAX dP/dt and the pressure at which it occurs are also analyzed as indicators of relaxation mechanisms.

FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO USE

* Requires no programming: push-button set-up in minutes. Balances and calibrates in seconds.

* Provides instantaneous digital analysis: no post-experimental manual analysis required.

* Modules can be used as stand-alone units or integrated into a computer-based system via the Digi-Med System Integrator. Easily portable between labs.


ECONOMICAL

* Performs accurate measurements and then calculates data instantaneously and automatically to free up technician time.

* Unusually affordable with lease and monthly rental options available to meet any lab's budget.
