The Small Animal Cystometry Lab Station is specifically designed for performing
in vivo measurements of bladder function in mice and rats, and is ideal for
physiological assessment of bladder performance in "Knock-Out" and
transgenic mice.
This system allows standard urological tests to be performed in mice and rats.
The experimental animal is chronically instrumented with an intra-bladder
catheter, which is routed underneath the skin and exteriorized at the base of
the animal's neck (this technique requires familiarity with small animal
survival surgery). A computer-controlled syringe pump infuses saline into the
bladder, and an in-line pressure transducer records intra-bladder pressure
during the infusion. When bladder capacity is reached, the transducer records
pressure during the urination event (micturition). An analytical balance,
located beneath the animal cage, records the weight of urine, providing an index
of voided urine volume. The entire system is enclosed in a Sound Attenuating
Cubicle to isolate the animal from environmental disturbances. All signals are
recorded on a PC-based system, which allows full user control of the cystometric
protocol details.
