CODA® High Throughput System

Non-invasive blood pressure system

Item # CODA-HT2

Category: Non-invasive blood pressure monitoring systems

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.

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

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-cuff 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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
