Press Release: ADInstruments
Life science research institutions worldwide are
increasingly adopting wireless implantable telemetry systems
to overcome traditional limitations in continuous
physiological monitoring. The technology enables researchers
to capture real-time data from freely moving animals across
extended experimental periods, addressing longstanding
challenges in neuroscience and cardiovascular research where
spontaneous physiological events previously went
unrecorded.
Modern DAQ
systems now integrate seamlessly with implantable
telemeters, allowing simultaneous acquisition of multiple
biological signals including biopotentials, tissue oxygen
concentrations, and sympathetic nerve activity.
ADInstruments, a data acquisition specialist serving over
10,000 organisations globally, has addressed battery-life
compromises historically associated with wireless monitoring
through its
Kaha Sciences Telemetry brand, which uses solid-state
sensor technology to enable continuous 24/7 recording at
sampling rates up to 2kHz. This ensures researchers capture
complete datasets without missing critical events.
The
advancement proves particularly valuable for epilepsy
research, where the spontaneous nature of seizure activity
has traditionally made comprehensive monitoring difficult.
Neuro telemetry applications now extend across
intracranial pressure measurement, sleep and circadian
rhythm studies, and autonomic nervous system research.
Peer-reviewed publications utilising these technologies span
investigations from blast-induced brain injury to the
circadian control of tissue oxygenation, reflecting the
breadth of research applications now possible with
implantable systems.

The shift towards wireless, fully
implantable monitoring represents a broader transformation
in how physiological research is conducted. With equipment
now capable of measuring signals from fine peripheral
autonomic nerves at input ranges of ±60µV, researchers can
investigate previously inaccessible aspects of
cardiovascular control, stress responses, and the
development of conditions such as hypertension with
unprecedented precision and
reliability.
