The Scisense ADVantage™ pressure-volume control unit is a state-of-the-art admittance-based volume measurement system. It is the first technology to output true volumes in real-time. This turn-key system obviates the need for time-consuming and error-prone calibration procedures and ultimately saves you time during the acquisition and analysis process. Lower standard deviations result which means fewer animals are used, costs to run a study are reduced and data can be published faster.

Thanks to a fast on-board microprocessor, the ADVantage™ system is also simple and easy to use. All of the complex admittance calculations are doing prior to the volume signal being output to any data acquisition system via BNC connectors.
