Research on neonatal laboratory animals are very limited because of the size of neolatal animals. Capnometer is a device which measures end-tidal CO2 (correlated to arterial pCO2) and N2O along with ventilation frequency. We developed a MICRO-CAPNOMETER which can measure accurately end-tidal CO2 in a wide range of animals including mice and neonatal rats (from 6 days old). The device utilizes low air sample flow rates(5,20 ml/min.)and the measurement is based on low pressure-high velocity principle and analyzes the gas sample with infra-red gas sensor technology. It has also the capabilities of determining the respiration rate by counting the period from the wave pattern of CO2 concentration. Analog outputs make it possible to record %CO2 and %N2O waveforms on the chart recorder. Optional RS-232 interface and software allows connection and display of CO2 and N2O waveforms on IBM-PC compatible computers.
