CODA M

The CODA® mouse and rat tail-cuff system was designed to allow you to accurately measure the blood pressure of a single mouse or rat. The CODA® tail-cuff blood pressure system utilizes Volume Pressure Recording (VPR) sensor technology to measure the mouse or rat tail blood pressure. This method is clinically validated and is in wide usage.

In all, the CODA® monitor measures six blood pressure parameters: systolic, diastolic, mean BP, heart rate, tail blood volume and blood flow. Accurate, consistent and reliable readings can be taken from awake or anesthetized animals.

With the CODA®, You Can Measure:

  • 4 blood pressure parameters: systolic, diastolic, and 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)

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.

Noninvasive Tail-Cuff VPR Sensors

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.

What is 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.

Upgrade Your CODA Monitor with CODA Data Acquisition Software

If you are interested in analyzing your data, tracking animals or groups of animals, assigning animals to specific researchers or technicians you can upgrade the CODA Monitor to include the CODA Data Acquisition Software.

The CODA® Software Allows You To:

  • Store and save all of your data
  • Save each reading in both numeric and graphical representation
  • Easily create experiment summary reports
  • Identify and group animals
  • Assign animals to researchers
  • Accept or reject blood pressure measurements after the experiment

The CODA® Software is compatible with Windows® 7, 8 & 10, 64 bit.

Reviews

  • Alain Quiambao - EyeCRO, Preclinical Ophthalmic Research Oklahoma City, OK

    The tech support your company provided to us was excellent, that I remember well.

  • Stefan Constantinou - Yale University New Haven, Connecticut, United States

    The CODA system has been working very well for us and we are very happy with the purchase.

  • Antonio Henrique Martins, PhD - University of Puerto Rico San Juan, Puerto Rico, USA

    The system works very well, In fact I have two CODA systems. I believe that you specifically gave very useful advice in the past about how to do correct measurements.

  • Dr. Adam Kressel, MD, PhD - Feinstein Institute for Medical Research Manhasset, NY

    The customer support was excellent though, and I'm sure the system will be used again in the future as our experiments dictate.

  • Olga V Savinova, PhD - Staff Scientist United States

    I found the manuals, software, and equipment very user friendly, and I have not had any problems collecting blood pressure data in mice. As a matter, I've measured BP in the same range as in the invasive method using a catheter. I am very happy with your product.
