Brief Introduction

Promethion Core® is the only metabolic and behavioral phenotyping system that enables the tight synchronization of metabolic data with behavioral events. This is made possible by our exclusive SableHD™ high-definition digital technology, providing you with industry-leading accuracy, highest sampling rate, and unbeatable resolution of rapidly changing metabolic data. You will see every aspect of metabolism and behavior more clearly, with finer detail, quality, and repeatability—giving you complete confidence in your data.

Promethion Core systems are typically comprised of 8 to 16 rat or mouse cages, independent mass flow controllers, analyzers, pumps, and  Promethion Core systems are typically comprised of 8 to 16 rat or mouse cages, independent mass flow controllers, analyzers, pumps, and Promethion Live software platform. The control-gas-flow (CGF) integrated analyzer module is mounted to the side of the environmental cabinet or rack, minimizing footprint while neatly organizing tubes and cords. Efficient system management is at the heart of Promethion Core’s innovative design and enables technicians to easily manage animals and maintain the cages. 

Sable offers several Promethion Core system configurations to meet a wide range of research needs.

Product Characteristics

• Application-Specific Systems – Each system is configured for the unique requirements of your study.

• Accurate and Trustworthy Results – Behavioral events are synchronized with metabolic events in fine detail. SableHD® high definition technology provides truest, most data-rich results. And only Sable preserves all raw data for QC or retrospective analysis.

• High Throughput and Workflow – Multiple systems can be networked together for unmatched parallel processing, highest reproducibility, and simultaneous study power. Home cage and near-ambient CO2 levels eliminate cage acclimation time. Data and reports are securely accessed through remote computers, tablets and mobile devices.

• Reliable Platform – Robust architecture, hot-swappable components and battery back-up provide you with maximum uptime.

• Animal Safety – Sable pull-mode respirometry provides a low-stress environment for your animal, safeguarded in the event of a power failure. Only Sable meets the IACUC cage air-exchange standard.

• Fewer Animals – SableHD allows more statistical power using fewer animals, for testing more hypotheses.
