Model: MK-11    Cat.No.: MK-11
Manufacturer: Muromachi Kikai Co., Ltd.

Electronic Vaginal-Estrous Cycle-Monitor, Rat.
Enables to obtain a precise information on optimum day for mating during estrous cycle in the rats.
The electrical impedance of the epithelial cell layer of vaginal mucosa is measured at the frequency of 1 kHz by insertion of the probe into vagina. In the proestrus stage significantly high impedance is produced compared to that in the other stages of the estrous cycle. 3 kohm of impedance can be considered a standard indicating proestrus stage. Measuring range is 0 - 19.9kohm.
