Description |
| Long Jugular |
CX-2010S |
Yellow |
80 µl |
Use to cannulate the jugular vein. 10-15 cm of catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter must be hooked to BASi Culex ® immediately after implantation. This catheter has only one colored bead anchored below the sleeve for identification. The other anchor bead is clear and adjustable. |
| Short Jugular |
CX-2011S |
Light blue |
32 µl |
Use to cannulate the jugular vein. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter can be returned to a home cage for recovery. When using this catheter to draw blood, you must use a jugular extender (CX-2031S) to hook the animal to BASi Culex ®. |
| Short Jugular - Straight Tip |
CX-2011S-ST |
Light blue |
32 µl |
Use to cannulate the jugular vein. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter can be returned to a home cage for recovery. When using this catheter to draw blood, you must use a jugular extender (CX-2031S) to hook the animal to BASi Culex ®. |
| Long Femoral |
CX-2020S |
Green |
145 µl |
Use to cannulate the femoral vein. 10-15 cm of catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter must be hooked to BASi Culex ® immediately after implantation. This catheter has only one colored bead anchored below the sleeve for identification. The other anchor bead is clear and adjustable. |
| Short Femoral |
CX-2021S |
Dark blue |
56 µl |
Use to cannulate the femoral vein. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter can be returned to a home cage for recovery. You must use a femoral extender (CX-2032S) to hook the animal to BASi Culex ®. |
| Carotid Catheter |
CX-2012S |
Red |
25 µl |
Use to cannulate the carotid artery. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter can be returned to a home cage for recovery. You must use an extender (use jugular extender CX-2031S, since there are no “carotid” extenders) to hook the animal to BASi Culex ®. |
| GI catheter |
CX-8001S |
White
(may look tan after sterilization) |
56 µl |
Use to cannulate the stomach, duodenum, or peritoneal cavity. This catheter is designed for dosing. Only the sleeve will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter can be returned to a home cage for recovery. No extenders are needed for hooking animals to the Empis dosing accessory. |
| Bile duct catheter |
CX-8000S |
Black |
55 µl |
Use to cannulate the bile duct. Pair this catheter with a GI catheter in the duodenum to recirculate bile when you are not collecting. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals can be returned to the home cage for recovery. |
| Portal Catheter/ Femoral Artery Catheter |
CX-8002S |
Orange |
55 µl |
Use to cannulate the portal vein. Alternatively, this catheter can be used to cannulate the femoral artery. Only the sleeve will lie outside the exit point, so animals can be returned to the home cage for recovery. Use a portal extender (CX-2033S) to hook the animal to BASi Culex ®. |
| Mouse Jugular |
CX-2022S |
Light blue |
6 µl |
Use to cannulate the jugular vein of a mouse. Only the sleeve of the catheter will lie outside the exit point. Extenders should not be used to hook the animal to BASi Culex ®. |
| Mouse Carotid |
CX-2052S |
Red |
14.5 µl |
Use to cannulate the carotid artery of a mouse. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point. Extenders should not be used to hook the animal to BASi Culex ®. |
| Mouse GI |
CX-8003S |
White
(may look tan after sterilization) |
8 µl |
Use to cannulate the stomach or duodenum of a mouse. Only the sleeve will lie outside the exit point. Use this catheter for dosing, either manually or with the Empis accessory. |

Description |
| Short Jugular Extender |
CX-2031S |
Light blue |
48 µl |
Use to hook an animal cannulated with a short jugular catheter to BASi Culex ®. Bead colors will match. |
| Short Femoral Extender |
CX-2032S |
Dark blue |
88 µl |
Use to hook an animal cannulated with a short femoral catheter to BASi Culex ®. Bead colors will match. |
| G.I. Catheter Extender |
CX-2029S |
No bead |
186 µl |
Use to orally dose an animal manually from outside the cage. If you are dosing via Empis rather than manually, do not use an extender. GI extenders have a larger volume than venous catheter extenders, and designed to connect to a luer hub syringe. |
| Catheter Extender |
CX-2030S |
No bead |
22 µl |
Use to dose an animal manually from outside the cage. This can be used with any rat catheter for dosing. If you are dosing via Empis rather than manually, do not use an extender. Do not use to hook an animal to BASi Culex ! |
| Portal Extender |
CX-2033S |
Orange |
48 µl |
Use to hook an animal cannulated with a portal vein catheter (either in the portal vein OR in the femoral artery) to BASi Culex ®. Bead colors will match. |
| Crossover Extender |
CX-2034S |
No bead |
140 µl |
Use to hook an animal cannulated with a peripheral vein catheter when performing first pass metabolism experiments using the BASi Culex ®. This extender will connect the animal with the second BASi Culex ® Controller for blood sampling. |
