Most SCT systems use Faraday enclosures to keep local radio-frequency interference away from the receiving antennas and to contain the radio frequency transmissions of the implanted transmitters so they do not violate local regulations.įigure: Encapsulated Two-Channel Subcutaneous Transmitter, A3028A. The animals in which these transmitters are implanted can live together in one huge cage, or several cages, or in separate cages. Each system can monitor up to two hundred single-channel transmitters or a hundred dual-channel transmitters. The batteries in our implantable transmitters cannot be replace, but the batteries in our head-fixture transmitters may be replaced easily by hand.Ī Subcutaneous Transmitter System consists of SCTs, antennas to pick up their radio-frequency transmissions, amplifiers and demodulators to detect and decode these transmissions, communication hardware to permit data acquisition computer over Ethernet, and software to record and analyze the data. The SCT samples biopotentials with sixteen-bit precision and transmits them by radio waves. Each SCT measures one or more biopotentials. Our Subcutaneous Transmitters (SCTs) are small, battery-powered telemetry devices designed for implantation beneath the skin of laboratory animals. © 2007-2022, Kevan Hashemi Open Source Instruments Inc.
