Anesthesia Setup
Anesthesia Supply
Three separate anesthesia lines supply anesthesia to the three nose cones. Anesthesia supply can be set up with one vaporizer (same concentration of anesthetic gas supplied to all three animals) or three vaporizers (one vaporizer per animal, concentration of anesthetic gas can be regulated individually). If only one vaporizer is used, the necessary flow rate is expected to be three times higher than the flow rate used for a single anesthesia mask.
Anesthesia Mask
To slide the anesthesia mask in position, loosen the fixation screw on top of the anesthesia mask, position it, and thighten again.

Death of or harm to the animal - 1.
- The Bruker instrument is often used in combination with anesthesia devices (Trade Products) that deliver anesthesia gas. Overdose of anesthesia gas might cause the death of the animal. It is in the operators responsibility to monitor vital signs of the animal.
- •
- We recommend to use an animal monitoring system to monitor vital signs (for example heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, …).
- •
- Follow the instructions for use of all device suppliers such as for example the anesthesia device or animal monitoring trade product supplier.
- •
- Ensure operation of vital signs when preparing the experimental setup. For example check ECG wires and hoses of respiratory air pressure pad for blockade.
