Metabolic and Behavioral Measurement System

MetaMax Metabolic and Behavioral Measurement System is an integrated rodent metabolic cage system designed for comprehensive animal metabolic phenotyping, behavioral analysis, and indirect calorimetry studies in mice and rats.

Using the principle of indirect calorimetry, the Metabolic Measurement system continuously measures oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) under non-restrained conditions, enabling calculation of key metabolic parameters including respiratory exchange ratio (RER) and energy expenditure (EE).
