Small Animal Metabolism Apparatus
![]() |
An economical student experiment apparatus for determining the oxygen consumption of small animals (weighing less than 150g). A fun, educational experience and an effective demonstration of basal metabolism. Other suggested activities include the comparison of metabolic rates between animals of different species, sex or size; and comparisons of animals under varying environmental conditions, such as light/dark, cool/warm and resting/working.Contains all the equipment necessary to conduct the experiments. Animal and CO2 absorbant not included.Catalog #7122-410* |
Physiology Kits
![]() |
A complete Kymograph-based physiology experiments lab offering a “hands-on” experience to biology students. This complete “course in a case” contains all the necessary apparatus, including a microprocessor-controlled Kymograph and a comprehensive Teacher’s Manual, to perform a wide range of experimentation:
All components are packed in a rugged attache-style case. Battery included. Available as smoke or ink-writing models in 110v or 220v. Also available: Physiology Accessory Kits, for schools which already own a Kymograph. Catalog:

Bio-Monitor
![]() |
A sturdy, dependable instrument used to detect and display bioelectrical events associated with cardiac and striated muscle activity. The Bio-Monitor provides both visual (flashing light) and audible (beep tone) responses. The Bio-Monitor is found to be an acceptable “alternative to dissection” product for non-dissection educational environments.The Bio-Monitor comes with all the accessories needed to perform experiments at the classroom level, including:
A comprehensive Teacher’s Manual and batteries are included. Catalog #7092-910* |
Isolated Square Wave Stimulator
![]() |
A convenient source of electric current for classroom experiments which require safe, controllable electrical stimuli of muscles and nerves. The Phipps & Bird Square Wave Stimulator is capable of supporting a wide spectrum of physiological processes ranging from the simple through the very sophisticated. Recreate the scientific breakthroughs of Galvani, Lapicque and others.

Student Wet Spirometer, 9-liter
![]() |
Now there’s an academic-quality wet spirometer that combines reliability and accuracy with an increased volume to accommodate students with larger lung capacities.
Introduce students to the basics of respiratory physiology through experiments in which they are the subjects. Measure Tidal Volumes (TV), Inspiratory Capacity (IC), Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV), Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV), and Vital Capacity (VC). Catalog #7087-200
Each unit comes complete with instructions and a lab manual of theory and student experiments along with an initial supply of 100 disposable mouthpieces.* |
