Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge technologies to support high-quality preclinical cardiovascular and physiological research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key equipment includes the VisualSonics Vevo 3100<\/strong> high-resolution ultrasound imaging system for advanced imaging, a complete DSI implantable telemetry platform<\/strong> for continuous monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and ECG in freely moving animals, and state-of-the-art microsurgery workstations designed for complex and precise surgical procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, we provide comprehensive anesthesia and perioperative monitoring equipment<\/strong>, ensuring optimal animal welfare and experimental reliability throughout all procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, these technologies enable us to perform sophisticated longitudinal studies while generating robust, reproducible, and translational data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most equipment is handled exclusively by the team at MIF; however, some equipment can be used directly by the researchers given the appropriate experience\/expertise.  <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
