The iWorx RA5x data acquisition systems demonstrates the high resolution, low noise and flexibility required for a variety of research applications including: Cardiac Function; Hemodynamics; Isolated tissue and organ studies; Exercise physiology research; Metabolic function studies; Neuroscience;Oocyte clamp and epithelial voltage clamp applications.

Both iWorx IX-RA5 and IX-RA5S recorders feature-rich physiological data acquisition. Coming equipped with 2 BNC inputs, 2 Transducer inputs, 2 Event Marker inputs, 4 iWire inputs, 1 Temperature input, Sync in/out and low voltage stimulators.

The IX-RA5S also includes a constant current high voltage stimulator.

• Versatile record multiple signals simultaneously (i.e. heart rate, respiration and pulse oximetry). See a list of compatible sensors

• Built-in Stimulators: built-in, software controlled low and high voltage stimulators for both human and animal experiments with a wide array of preset stimulation protocols

• Longer Life Cycle: iWire digital design accommodates future lab technologies

• LabScribe software is a powerful recording and analysis package that features an intuitive, user-friendly interface for setting up acquisition screens, calibrating signals, and analyzing data. Up to 128 channels of data can be displayed simultaneously at sampling rates as high as 100,000 samples/second.Specific analysis modules for cardiovascular research are available to analyze pressure signals, blood flow data, ECG recordings, ventricular pressure-volume loops and sonomicrometry dimension data.
