Swivel Based Microdialysis System

Liquid swivels provide a simplistic approach to awake animal infusion and sampling. If you desire more flexibility in your experimental design options, or would like to monitor animal behavior while sampling, then find out more about the Raturn® Sampling Caging system.  View a comparison of Liquid Swivels and the Raturn.

• The BASi® swivel based system comes in two configurations. 
• A basic MD-XXXX configuration in which the balance arm and tether is mounted to the cage wall and the cage is placed directly on a lab bench.
• The MD-1570 configuration includes a cage holder and a mount for the balance arm/tether.  This allows the cage to be easily removed without affecting other components (balance arm/tether/tubings, etc.).  It also eliminates the chances of the cage being displaced during the study.
• The MD-1570 BASi® swivel based system includes the base, cage, dual channel swivel, balanced arm, vials and tubing.
• Create swivel connections with almost any pump, tubing, or collector.
• Tether includes two holders to hold vials in place while collecting samples
• Uses MD-1570 Teflon Swivel System
  • Swept volumes of 4.5 µL and ~ 1.5 µL for the swivel side and center channels respectively.
  • Recommended swivel for retrodialysis studies
