Emitter Telemetry System

Emitter Telemetry System

For Mice, Rats & Small Animals

The E-Mitter Telemetry System allows you to continuously monitor temperature, gross motor activity and heart rate of mice, rats and other small animals. Because the Emitter Telemetry System operates without batteries and can be implanted for up to 2 years, high costs and downtime due to explantation, refurbishment and re-implantation are avoided.

E-Mitter Telemetry Implants

E-Mitters are small, wireless, battery-free telemetry implants for use with mice and rats. E-Mitters are powered by capturing energy from electrical fields generated by the ER-4000 Energizer/Receiver Wireless – No Tether No Batteries 2-Year Lifespan  No Refurbishing  No Recalibration  Lightweight

E-Mitters do not require any refurbishments or calibration during their 2-year lifespan. The E-Mitter Telemetry System is perfect for any short or long-term studies.

E-Mitters are powered by capturing energy from electrical fields generated by the ER-4000 Energizer/Receiver. This allows the E-Mitter to operate without a battery and remain implanted indefinitely or to be reused in multiple animals over its 2-year functional lifespan.

	G2 E-MITTER The G2 E-Mitter is the smallest E-Mitter we offer and measures 15.5mm x 6.5mm. Because of its small size, it is useful for measuring core body temperature and gross motor activity in mice.
	G2 HR E-MITTER At 19.5 x 6.5mm, the G2 HR E-Mitter has the ability to monitor heart rate, core body temperature and gross motor activity in mice and rats ranging from 25 to 250 grams.
	PTD 4000 E-MITTER The PDT 4000 E-Mitter dimensions are 23mm x 8mm and will provide core body temperature and gross motor activity in rats with a weight range of 250 – 900 grams.
	PDT 4000 HR E-MITTER The PDT 4000 HR E-Mitter dimensions are 26mm x 8mm. This transponder allows you to measures heart rate, core body temperature and gross motor activity in rats with a weight range of 250 – 900 grams.

Benefits of the E-Mitter Telemetry System

	Wireless With no wires, you don’t have to worry about tethers, exit site infections, or other hard-wired problems.
	No Batteries E-Mitters are powered by the ER-4000 Energizer/Receiver that conveniently fits under most standard lab cages. This means no downtime or recurring costs for battery refurbishment or recalibration.
	Low cost/long-term monitoring As E-Mitters require no batteries and have a 2-year lifespan they can be reused over and over for short-term studies or implanted indefinitely for long-term studies.
	Accurate and reliable Reports physiologic and behavioral data from unrestrained animals in our VitalView software.
	Lightweight Transponders are lightweight and range from 1.1 g – 2.2 g.
	Software E-Mitters use VitalView software for data acquisition and analysis.

ER4000 Energiser / receiver

The ER4000 Energizer/Receiver provides power to and receives measurement data back from implanted E-Mitters. It conveniently fits under most standard lab animal cages and can work together with our Mouse and Rat running wheels. 7-9 year lifespan Connect Up to 32 to a standard Windows PC Withstands room temperatures of 4-6 Degrees C or higher.

The ER4000 Receiver is a required component for our Emitter-Telemetry System where you can only assign one (1) Emitter per one (1) Receiver during an active data collection for single-housed type rodents.

You can randomly assign any Emitter to a Receiver by updating the Vital View Telemetry Data Acquisition software prior to the start of a new data collection.

Benefits of the ER4000 Energizer / Receiver

	Use with Mice & Rats The ER4000 will connect to any of our E-Mitter implants and is compatible with both a Mouse and Rat size cage
	Made of Durable Material You can spill any type of liquid (excluding acid) on its base area without doing any damage
	Up to 32 Receivers Assign each receiver it’s own ID Number using the VitalView Telemetry Software.
	Flexible Placement The ER4000 Receiver can be placed on a standard shelving unit, table-top or Circadian Type Chamber. It can also be placed at the base of the cage body (recommended) or to the side of the cage body.
