Interface for Water, Air and Anesthesia

The location of the interface for the hoses is displayed in Description of Components (7). The connectors are prepared to work in combination with Bruker options for animal temperature stabilization. Depending on Bruker animal cradle used, either warm water based heating covers or warm air applies for animal temperature stabilization.

Interface hoses for water, air, compressed air, anesthesia supply and waste anesthetic gas removal. In addition, compressed air is used for the CryoProbe option.

▪: Water is used for the Bruker water based Body Temperature Conditioning option where warm water is supplied to animal heating covers (warming blankets ). Heating covers are typically used for open animal cradles.

▪: Air is used for the Bruker Air Circulation option to provide air to closed animal cassettes. In order to have warm air, the Air Circulation option requires as prerequisite the option “water” (Body Temperature Conditioning System) described above since it generates the warm water for the water/air heat exchanger located in the animal cradle interface. The Air Circulation option only circulates the air which needs to be warmed by the “water” option.

▪: Anesthesia supply and WAG (waste anesthetic gas ) removal allows the user to interface anesthesia gas. Supply and WAG removal is routed and connected to the anesthesia mask in the animal cradle. Commercial isoflurane anesthesia evaporator may be connected. For WAG removal, suction with a negative pressure of at least -0.3 bar is required to obtain a suitable WAG flow of 1-2 liter/minute from the anesthesia mask. Data differ depending on the animal cradle used.

▪: Compressed Air is used for dedicated animal cradles of the CryoProbe option.
