The innovative Stellar Telemetry System allows individual recording of key physiological parameters in freely roaming and socially active animals. In this webinar, scientists discuss the added capabilities of such a system in particular flexibility and freedom for both researcher and subject.

In this webinar sponsored by, TSE Systems, experts show new capabilities in wireless physiologic monitoring enabled by the Stellar Telemetry system.

In one ‘subtropical’ setting Jeff Osborn shows how this system can be used in a colony of primates that are free to roam, without traditional geographical or data management limitations. In the traditional lab setting we hear from Lou D’Alecy, who reviews surgical techniques for device implantation and discusses how this system can enhance measurement capabilities in a traditional rodent model. In addition, Harm Knot provides an overview of system technology and operation.

TSE Systems is the leading global partner in providing advanced solutions for in vivo metabolic research. We assure researchers to achieve accurate, high-resolution data for studying metabolism, energy expenditure, and physiological changes in rodent models. With high-speed indirect calorimetry, we constantly investigate energy expenditure and monitor in parallel with other modules of the PhenoMaster factors which have an impact on EE such as food/liquid intake, body weight, and temperature or locomotor activity. In collaboration with scientists investigating the microbiome's role, we recently developed various additional features. PhenoMaster placed in an Isolator and equipped with additional H2 sensors allows study of germ-free animals or the activity of a defined microbiome. Stable isotope tracing using CO12/13 sensors has been used to identify metabolic changes induced by cancer.
