Lisa Saccommano, PhD

“I just wanted to touch base and follow up on the PhysioSuite Capnograph and the temperature probe. It has really worked out for us and the temp probe was a great addition. Both have been able to import directly into Powerlab which is a great feature!”
Antonis Pouliopoulos, PhD
Columbia University
“I love the SomnoSuite system, because it is digital, we have absolute control over the delivered anesthetic, it has an intuitive user interface with an easy-to-use touchscreen, it can be enhanced with other functionalities within the same device (e.g. pulse oximetry, CO2 measurements etc.), it can be used with multiple animals at the same time, and many other functions that analog systems do not offer.Our lab uses only SomnoSuite, and I propose the system to other colleagues as well.”
Brendan Dougherty PhD
University of Minnesota
“We have had some challenges optimizing the system for our specific needs, but the support team has been excellent!”
International Inhalation Anesthetic Company
“We have since upgraded one of our units to include EXCO2 and the mouse vent and are planning on using it on our next study to further our success rate by reducing some more dead space and knowing what the EXCO2 is during the recovery phase.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, there are multiple options to record and manage data. The system includes one analog output (for a single parameter), or you may export all parameters digitally via mini-USB.

Yes, the PhysioSuite can be used alongside your stereotaxic frame.

The normal ETCO2 range in animals is 30 to 45mmHg or 4.0 to 5.5%. Sensor placement is an important factor in determining sidestream ETCO2. Place the sensor on the expiratory line, as close to the animal’s airway as possible.

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.
