The Plethysmometer system assesses change in paw volume and can be used to screen for potential anti-inflammatory or anti-edema properties
The Panlab/Harvard Apparatus Plethysmometer is specially designed for evaluating experimentally induced inflammatory response.
The water displacement produced by immersing the animal's paw in the measuring tube is reflected into an interconnected secondary tube that contains a conductive solution.
An electrode measures the change in conductance between the two electrodes and an output signal is generated to indicate the volume displaced.
A test button allows the researcher to easily check the conductivity of the solution before measurement - unique feature in the market!
