Indirect calorimetry is used to collect detailed information on an individual’s energy metabolism. In mice, energy expenditure is evaluated by measuring oxygen consumption with an open flow respirometry system.
The Promethion High-Resolution Metabolic and Behavioral Phenotyping System enables the tight synchronization of metabolic data with behavioral events. Data from 16 mice can be acquired in parallel. Mice are housed in a home cage setup with bedding and nesting material. Each cage is equipped with a running wheel (which can be blocked) and food hoppers can be equipped with access control doors allowing for scheduled feeding regimes.

The Environmental Control Cabinet offers temperature and light control for your metabolism and behavior studies. The cabinet can be programmed to meet a wide range of experimental requirements with up to 100 changes in temperature and light intensity over the course of a study (temperatures from 3˚ C to 50˚ C ± 0.1°).
