emkaPACK4G, noninvasive
telemetry for large animals
telemetry monitors the physiology of large
animals noninvasively (no surgery).
emkaPACK4G
It only takes a few minutes to equip the animals with
emkaPACK4G using our custom-designed clothing.
The emkaPACK4G transmits ECG, lung volume, blood
pressure, acceleration and temperature signals.
Each signal type is available as an optional add-on, so you
buy only what you need and can upgrade at any time.

5. rodentPACK,
telemetry for rodents
is a cost-effective telemetry system
to study animals 200g and more, such as rats.
rodentPACK
It acquires EEG, EMG, ECG and temperature, as
well as acceleration and postural information,
