The Neurolog System includes a range of transducers and
accelerometers for making measurements of in vivo pressures,
muscle force and limb acceleration or tremor.
Pressure Transducers
Disposable and re-useable pressure
transducers are connected to the NL108A Pressure Amplifier via an
interconnecting lead which is specific to the transducer of
choice. The pressure transducers can be used to make
measurement of in vivo internal pressures, as blood pressure
monitor or
bladder pressure monitor.
Force Transducers
Our range of isometric force transducers (strain gauges)
are used with the NL109 Bridge Amplifier. We also have an
optical-based XY Ergometer (NL280), which has been developed to
measure the force generated by drosophila during genetic knockout
studies of insect muscle.
Accelerometers
NL109 Bridge Amplifiers can also be
used with our NL260 3-Axis Accelerometer Interface and selection
of 1, 2 or 3 axis accelerometer. One NL109 is required for each
axis required.
NL108T2
- Disposable Physiological Pressure Transducer |
|
|
The
NL108T2 disposable pressure transducers provide a
straight-forward, cost effective and reliable means of
monitoring physiological pressures. The transducers
feature a large uniform lumen reducing the chance of
incomplete filling, which can lead to bubble formation.
The transducer is fitted with a short lead which must be
connected via our 2.5m long NL108L2 lead (see
below) to the NL108A
pressure amplifier. These transducers are
used on a disposable basis in the clinical
environment, with careful use, their life-time in a
non-human research laboratory can be extended further.

NL108T4
- Re-useable Physiological Pressure Transducer |
|
|
Suitable
for both arterial and venous blood pressure monitoring,
the NL108T4 must be attached via a lead (NL108L4, see
below) to the NL108A
pressure amplifier, allowing continuous pressure
monitoring. The NL108T4 is a highly accurate and rugged
re-useable transducer, which is used in conjunction with
disposable domes (NL108D4T, see below). These disposable
domes are easy to fill and attach to the transducer body
and are available from us in packs of 10 or individually
(one dome is included with each transducer). The
components of the transducer are electrically isolated
from the transducer housing, which is in turn isolated
from the saline solution by the silicone membrane of the
dome. The transducer is gold plated, making it easier to
clean.
The
transducer is designed primarily for use as a blood
pressure monitor, but equally well operates as a
monitor for intracranial, gastrologic or intra-uterine
pressures, as well as urodynamic measurements.

NL108D4T
- Disposable Domes for NL108T4 Transducer |
|
These
domes are suitable for use with our currently available NL108T4 re-useable
transducer and for added convenience are now fitted with 3
way taps. Domes are available individually
(NL108D4T) or in packs of 10 (NL108D4T/10).

NL61 -
Isometric Force Transducer (25g - 1500g) |
 |
Available
in a variety of ranges, these isometric force transducers
can be used with the NL108A Pressure Amplifier, to provide
you with a simple means of measuring force alongside other
parameters of interest. They offer low deflection,
high output sensitivity, a high overload range and
versatile mounting options.
Ranges
Available:
+/-25g,
+/-55g, +/-110g, +/-220g, +/-450g, +/-1000g and +/-1500g
(If
ordering, please ensure required range is stated)
|
NL62 -
Dual Cantilever Beam Transducer (2kg - 50kg) |
 |
Available
in a variety of ranges, the NL62 offers an excellent
size/performance ratio, at a competitive price. The
dual cantilever design enables the rejection of off-centre
forces, making it suitable for a number of applications
requiring measurement of forces beyond the limits of the
NL61. The transducer is wired for connection to our
NL108A amplifier.
Ranges
Available:
+/-2kg,
+/-5kg, +/-30kg, +/-50kg
(If
ordering, please ensure required range is stated)
|
NL63 -
Medium Range Single Point Load Cell (100kg - 250kg) |
 |
The
NL63 is a medium range anodised aluminium single
point load cell, which has been specifically deigned for
platform weighing applications, although it is equally
suited to other weighing and force measurement
applications where high accuracy is required from a low
range product.
The
NL63 is suitable for use in platforms with sizes up to
400mm x 400mm. It is environmentally sealed as standard to
IP67.
The
NL63 series can be supplied on it's own or combined with
our extensive range of instrumentation to provide a
complete load monitoring system.
Ranges
Available:
±100kg,
±150kg, ±200kg, ±250kg
(If
ordering, please ensure the required range is stated)
|
NL280 - XY Ergometer |
Enlarge |
Developed for research into jump forces generated by
drosophila, the NL280 XY Ergometer comprises a flexible
light pipe, photodiode detector and a NeuroLog module
which powers the emitter/detector and outputs the voltage
signals which correlate with the movement of the light
beam. The light pipe and detector are designed to be
mounted on Narishige magnetic stands which we also supply.

NL260 3 Axis Accelerometer Interface |
 |
The NL260 3 Axis Accelerometer
Interface is used with the NL109
Bridge Amplifier (one per axis, purchased separately)
to provide a flexible system for accelerometry
measurements from small single, dual or triple axis
accelerometers (see below). The NL260 interface is connected
to the NL109 Bridge Amplifier via a 50cm cable. An
accelerometer is connected to a "D" connector on
the opposite
side of the interface box.
|
NL26x ±1.7g Accelerometers (NL261 (1 Axis), NL262 (2 Axis),
NL263 (3 Axis) |
 |
We offer single (NL261), dual
(NL262) and triple (NL263) axis accelerometers which are
fitted with a 2m long ribbon cable terminating in a "D"
connector plug which fits the NL260 (above). The
accelerometers themselves are approximately 11mm (W) x 11mm (D) x 9mm
(H). These can be attached to the subject using
micropore tape or similar. If you have alternative g
requirements please let us know so we can investigate
availability of suitable accelerometers.
