MOXAR Multi-Channel Option
When used in conjunction with the Moxar Animal Respiratory System, the R-4 Flow Control allows users the flexibility to test multiple subjects at once while allowing access the the highly accurate S-3A Oxygen Analyzer and CD-3A Carbon Dioxide Analyzer. A benefit of this modular system is having the ability to add multiple chambers without purchasing a new system.
- Visual at-a-glance indication of flow for each chamber
- Controlled sampling from four (4) animal chambers
- Ability to adjust the flow through each chamber
- Expandable up to 8 animal chambers
- R-4H has ability to handle flow up to 60 liters/minute
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the MOXAR Multi-Channel Option?
The MOXAR Multi-Channel Option is an expansion module for the MOXAR Respirometry System that enables researchers to monitor multiple animal chambers using a single set of high-precision gas analyzers. It improves testing efficiency while maintaining accurate metabolic measurements.
2. How many animal chambers can the MOXAR Multi-Channel Option support?
The MOXAR Multi-Channel Option supports four animal chambers as standard and can be expanded to monitor up to eight chambers, allowing researchers to increase study capacity without purchasing a separate respirometry system.
3. What are the benefits of a multi-channel respirometry system?
A multi-channel respirometry system allows researchers to collect metabolic data from multiple subjects simultaneously, improving laboratory efficiency, increasing sample throughput, reducing testing time, and maintaining consistent measurement quality across experiments.
4. Can the airflow be adjusted for each chamber individually?
Yes. The MOXAR Multi-Channel Option allows independent airflow adjustment for each chamber, enabling researchers to optimize testing conditions based on the size, species, and metabolic requirements of each subject.
5. Does the MOXAR Multi-Channel Option use the same AEI gas analyzers?
Yes. The system works with the AEI S-3A Oxygen Analyzer and CD-3A Carbon Dioxide Analyzer, providing the same high level of accuracy, stability, and repeatability trusted by research laboratories worldwide.
6. Who should use the MOXAR Multi-Channel Option?
The MOXAR Multi-Channel Option is ideal for universities, research institutions, veterinary laboratories, physiology departments, and life science researchers conducting high-volume metabolic and respiratory studies.
7. Can I expand my existing MOXAR system instead of purchasing a new one?
Yes. One of the key advantages of the MOXAR Multi-Channel Option is its modular design, allowing existing MOXAR users to add additional chambers as research demands grow without replacing their current system.
8. What is the R-4 Flow Control used for?
The R-4 Flow Control manages airflow and sample selection across multiple animal chambers. It provides visual flow indicators and precise control to help ensure accurate, repeatable respiratory gas measurements during metabolic testing.
9. How does the MOXAR Multi-Channel Option improve laboratory workflow?
By allowing multiple subjects to be tested simultaneously, the system reduces experiment time, increases productivity, and streamlines data collection while maintaining consistent respiratory gas analysis across every chamber.
10. Why choose the MOXAR Multi-Channel Option from AEI Technologies?
The MOXAR Multi-Channel Option combines modular expandability, precise flow control, trusted AEI gas analyzer technology, and decades of respiratory gas analysis expertise, making it an efficient and cost-effective solution for growing research laboratories.
