MRBP Single Animal Tail Cuff Blood Pressure System
The original mouse and rat tail cuff BP systems from the lab of Xperiment Girl- IITC Rat/Mouse Tail Cuff Blood Pressure systems –
We have been supplying our tail cuff systems for 51 years to the global research community studying the effect of blood pressure on every animal from mice up to monkeys.
Features
Description
The only validated method/data of tail cuff blood pressure measurement when compared to both telemetry and direct blood pressure.
All of the IITC Life Science tail cuff method blood pressure analysis systems allow researchers to quickly, and accurately obtain blood pressure measurements at the lowest recommended temperatures.
MRI and anesthetized compatible for any animal.
Rat and Mouse Tail Cuff Method System components.

Systems use a highly sensitive photoelectric sensor for detection of blood pressure pulses.
Our method is the only method that allows researchers to measure blood pressure at the lowest ambient temperature which is 32 deg. c. All others require high temperatures (36-40 deg. C) which can cause undue thermostress and inaccurate data.
The only validated method which enables researchers to monitor, record, store and export blood pressure readings automatically with our software.
The software will show you in real time systolic, diastolic, mean and heart rate and allows complete control of system.
Systolic is measured not “calculated/estimated” as with other systems on the market.
A critical part of the process is the placement of the inflation and detection cuff onto the test subject. While others subject the researcher and test subject to two seperate cuffs, we have combined both cuffs into our single tail cuff sensor. This technology eliminates the need for restraining the animals tail and creating undue stress.
The comfort of the test subject is most critical in collecting Non-Invasive blood pressure data for mice and rats. Our warming chambers create a complete environment of controlled temperature as opposed to radiating heat from a platform or blowers. The result of our method is a reduction in thermostress which can lead to inaccurate data.

IITC BP
IITC MRBP Software recording of blood pressure of a rat
software record’s analyzes and reports the data from the IITC MRBP Tail Cuff Systems for blood pressure studies. The final data is sent from the amplifier to the software program. The end-point selection is automatic for Systolic, Mean, Heart Rate while the Diastolic values are automatically computed. The user is always in control to override the automatic process by the click of a mouse. Data can be saved, ignored or deleted at the operator’s discretion. Any test can be recalled, displayed, printed and modified as needed
The software supplies ID number, Animal number, test number, date, time, Systolic, Mean, Diastolic and heart rate and Calibration is a breeze. Software can be used with manual(Original IITC Tail Cuff systems), semi-automatic or fully automatic noninvasive blood pressure systems.
Our software has IITC built-in artifact filter and has user select frequency range’s. A detailed report can be printed or imported into a spreadsheet at the end of a test. Software and analog to digital converter supplied.
