CODA® High Throughput System
Non-invasive blood pressure system
The CODA® mouse rat tail-cuff system was designed to allow accurate blood pressure measurement in mice and rats. Blood pressure is measured in the tail of the mouse or rat using volume pressure recording (VPR) sensor technology. Using the included software allows you to continuously view data in real-time.
Please Note: Due to temporary parts shortages, some component colors may vary, including the normally black color-coded o-cuff connectors and the normally uncolored cuff storage container.

See how the non-invasive tail-cuff system works
The animal nose cone holders that accompany the CODA system were specifically designed for non-invasive tail blood pressure measurements. The clear acrylic holders provide unrestricted breathing and allow complete visibility to the researcher.
The VPR sensor incorporates a specially designed differential pressure transducer that measures the systolic and diastolic blood pressure by determining the blood volume in the tail. We have cuff sizes for mice as small as 8 grams to rats as large as 950 grams.
Base system includes
- NIBP controller
- Database software
- Far infrared warming platform(s)
- Cuff storage case(s) *color may vary
- Infrared thermometer
- Product manual
- 1-Year 100% parts & labor standard warranty (optional premium warranty available for purchase)
- (International extended warranty available. Contact your distributor for details)
With CODA, you can measure
- 4 blood pressure parameters: systolic, diastolic, mean BP and heart rate
- Mice as small as 8 grams to rats as large as 950 grams
- Diastolic blood pressure measured, not just a calculated value
- Dark-skinned mice (C57BL/6) without difficulty
- Awake or anesthetized animals with equal accuracy, consistency, and reliability
- Anesthetized animals in a radiological environment (MRI compatibility)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum temperature of the pad?
Approximately 45° C when positioned flat. Folding the sides over can increase the temperature around the pad significantly.
What is the footprint of a CODA 6 and 8 channel system?
W: 32.5″
H: 10.5″
D: 22″
Does the CODA Blood Pressure System work for both rats and mice?
Yes, the CODA accommodates both mice and rats. CODA cuffs and animal holders are available for small mice from 8g to large rats over 500g.
How many animals can be monitored at one time using the CODA Blood Pressure System?
The CODA Monitor measures a single animal’s blood pressure; the CODA High Throughput Systems are able to measure 2, 4, 6 or 8 animals simultaneously. Up to 6 CODA HT8’s can be combined to measure a total of 48 animals simultaneously.
Does the CODA Blood Pressure System require additional software?
The CODA software controls CODA High-Throughput systems, and is designed to record and organize your blood pressure data. The CODA software is also compatible with CODA Monitor, though it is not required.
Can I sterilize the controller with vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP)?
Yes, the controller can be sterilized with hydrogen peroxide gas (or VHP). You may use the same sterilization protocol used for laptop computers and other electronics in your facility. Be sure to open any caps or ports to allow the gas to reach inner mechanisms and tubing, if applicable.
