Harvard Apparatus has introduced the Minivent ventilator specifically designed for mice.
The Minivent is suitable for any animal with tidal volumes of 30-350ul and respiratory rates of 60-400 breaths per minute.
Quiet, compact and lightweight, this ventilator features a rod clamp that allows it to be positioned directly next to the animal.
The Minivent employs a valveless rotary plunger that eliminates clogging during the ventilation cycle.
A cylinder and plunger control inspiration and expiration with a synchronised forward and rotating movement.
This ventilator reduces tidal volume error due to system compliance to 3ul.
