CODA® High Throughput Monitor

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.

With the 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

  • Anesthetized animals in a radiological environment (MRI compatibility)

See How the Noninvasive Tail-Cuff System Works

The animal nose cone holders that accompany the CODA system were specifically designed for noninvasive 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.

About Volume Pressure Recording (VPR)

VPR is a clinically validated method to measure blood pressure in mice and rats by determining the tail blood volume using a volume pressure recording sensor and an occlusion tail-cuff. VPR provides 99% correlation with telemetry and direct blood pressure measurements. Only our VPR technology can actually measure the diastolic blood pressure; all other tail-cuff technologies estimate (calculate) the diastolic blood pressure in mice and rats.

    We have used the CODA system for measurement of blood pressure in obese Zucker rats, and are satisfied with the results.

  • Dr. Han Liu - University of California- Irvine Irvine, CA

    I have found our new CODA system to be very easy to use. The ability to do two mice at once has increased our efficiency. The software interface is very user friendly. It is a good product.

  • James Ackley , PhD Student Atlanta, GA

    Although I have changed companies recently, we loved the CODA. Even better though was the service Kent Scientific provided. You guys went above and beyond at every turn. The service tech who helped us was also great.

  • Irene Hasen, Animal Technician - University of California - Irvine Irvine , CA

    The system is performing well; we have used it with rats twice this week with no issues after ramping research back up. I especially appreciate the thick, sturdy materials and smooth edges of the animal holders.
