Blood pressure
Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and venous blood pressure measurements can be performed in realtime with high resolution and precision with the fiber-optic system from Samba Sensors.
Blood pressure is a key physiological parameter of vital importance in most life science research studies. Especially within the field of cardiovascular research the use of genetically manipulated mice is becoming an increasingly powerful way to study the complex signaling of the cardiovascular system. Through real-time recording and studying of the blood pressure the effects of for example pharmacological substances on the cardiovascular system can be analyzed.
When continuous high quality and high resolution blood pressure data is wanted an invasive measurement is required. The Samba system is ideal for use in small murine models where high-precision data is needed to visualize details of minute and ultra-fast changes in the condition of the cardiovascular system. The Samba system's unique and ultra-fast dynamic response and high resolution makes it possible to even perform pulse wave analysis (PWA) on central aortic blood pressure data from a mouse model.
Samba Sensors' ultra-miniature pressure catheter is designed to support life science research with murine models where gene-targeted or transgenic manipulations of the genome have been made. The Samba system is particularly useful if the research project also requires that images are simultaneously scanned from an MRI scanner.

Intravascular blood pressure
Intravascular pressure, or IBP, can be defined as the amount of pressure put forth on the walls of the blood vessels by the blood.
Arterial blood pressure
The Samba system is a high fidelity instrument for monitoring arterial blood pressure and pressure waves with all their fine details. Blood pressure in the arteries can be recorded in realtime with high resolution and precision.
Venous blood pressure
The Samba system is a high fidelity instrument for monitoring venous blood pressure patterns with all their fine details. Blood pressure in the veins can be recorded in real-time with high resolution and precision.
Left ventricular blood pressure
The Samba Preclin catheter can measure pressure in the left ventricle of the heart in small animal models such as mouse, rat and other rodents.
Right ventricular blood pressure
The Samba Preclin catheter can measure pressure in the left ventricle of the heart in small animal models such as mouse, rat and other rodents.
Right atrial blood pressure
The Samba system offers the opportunity to monitor the blood pressure in the right atrium of the heart of small animals, such as small rodents.
Mouse blood pressure
The mouse is often the preferred in vivo model in many life science studies. With the Samba fiber-optic pressure measurement system the user is able to monitor invasive blood pressures with extremely high resolution and accuracy.
Rat blood pressure
With a Samba Preclin transducer it is possible to perform real-time monitoring of invasive blood pressures with extremely high resolution and accuracy in a rat.
