Exercise Physiology

Qubit Systems can provide everything you require for the study of exercise physiology at various levels of sophistication, from complete metabolic systems for research, to low cost analyzers and packages for teaching and recreation. The modular nature of our instrumentation allows you to build a system to your exact requirements, and to add components as your needs change.


MS2 Lab-Based Metabolic System

This system includes a rapid response non-dispersive infrared CO2 analyzer, and paramagnetic O2 analyzer for breath by breath or mixed expired air gas exchange measurements. Masks are available in various sizes to fit a universal heated pneumotach for measurement of breath volume and frequency. Software calculates VO2, VCO2, RQ, Anaerobic Threshold and a variety of other parameters. Heart Rate, pulse oximetry, and EKG components are optional extras.

MS3 VO2 Measurement System

Designed for measurement of resting metabolic rate and VO2 during exercise stress, Qubit's MS3 VO2 Measurement System includes a pressure and temperature compensated fuel cell O2 sensor, and a factory calibrated turbine for accurate flow and volume measurements. The self-contained system allows accurate measurements of resting energy expenditure, as well as measurements of sub max and max VO2. Adding an optional heart rate monitor to the unit, provides accurate determination of the anaerobic threshold through analysis heart rate, ventilation and VE/VO2 during exercise. Software is intuitive and reports are comprehensive.

An accurate, low cost package for entry level research and teaching. Includes a non dispersive infrared CO2 analyzer and fuel cell O2 sensor for measurement of pCO2 and pO2 in mixed expired air. A calibrated pneumotach spirometer measures breath volume and frequency. Heart rate is measured by a wireless hand-held monitor. A four channel LabPro interface and Logger Pro software records and displays data for calculation of VO2, VCO2, RQ, Anaerobic Threshold etc.

BBB1LP Breath by Breath Respirometry Package (O2 + CO2)

Qubit’s new BBB1LP Breath by Breath Respirometry Package is designed to measure both steady-state and dynamic changes in human metabolic rate under a variety of test conditions. VO2, VCO2, VO2max, resting metabolic rate (RMR), Respiratory Exchange Ratio and a host of other physiological and pulmonary parameters may be measured using the package. Inhaled and exhaled breath are analyzed by rapid response O2 and CO2 analyzers at a sampling rate of 100 Hz so that the entire breath wave form is displayed graphically in real time. The breath wave form and end-tidal O2 and CO2 are clearly displayed, even during vigorous exercise.

BBBO2 Breath by Breath Respirometry Package (O2)

Qubit’s new BBBO2 Breath by Breath Respirometry Package is designed to measure both steady-state and dynamic changes in human metabolic rate under a variety of test conditions. VO2, VO2max, resting metabolic rate (RMR), and a host of other physiological and pulmonary parameters may be measured using the package. Inhaled and exhaled breath are analyzed by a rapid response O2 analyzer at a sampling rate of 100 Hz so that the entire breath wave form is displayed graphically in real time. The breath wave form and end-tidal O2 are clearly displayed, even during vigorous exercise.

Qubit Systems' S158 Carbon Dioxide Analyzer measures CO2 exchange in larger or more active animals and in situations where high CO2 fluxes may occur, such as fermentation processes. The S158 shares the same infrared technology and modular design as the S157 CO2 Analyzer. Output is linearized so that a simple two point (zero and span) calibration can be used.

S105 Rapid Response Fuel Cell O2 Analyzer

The S105 fuel cell O2 analyzer has a response time of 100 msecs for breath by breath O2 analysis.

Qubit's S108 Absolute O2 Analyzer is the most flexible, accurate and affordable oxygen analyzer on the market. It uses a fuel cell sensor that operates at ambient temperature unlike power hungry zirconium sensors that require an on-board furnace. It has a resolution of greater than 0.01% O2 and corrects for changes in pressure.

S102 Fuel Cell O2 Sensor

The lowest cost option for measuring pO2 in mixed expired air, Qubit's S102 flow through oxygen sensor provides accurate measurements of oxygen concentration from 0-100% O2 in the gas phase with a resolution of 0.01% (100 ppm). The sensor head is fitted with a T-piece and nylon tubing to allow easy attachment to other instruments or tubing.

S183 Pneumotach Spirometer

The S183 is a superb quality pneumotach for the measurement of breath volumes and breathing rates before, during and after exercise.

S184 Entry Level Spirometer

The S184 mouthpiece spirometer is an excellent tool for measuring breath volume and frequency in the teaching lab, for entry level research, and for recreation purposes.

S185 Wireless Hand-Grip Heart Rate Monitor

The S185 Hand-Grip Heart Rate Monitor is ideal for determining a person's heart rate while mobile or stationary and is suitable for entry level applications where the hands are free.

S182 Wireless Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitor

The S182 Wireless Exercise Heart Rate Monitor uses a Polar Electrode and transmitter/receiver system to transfer heart rate data to the LabPro Interface.

C901 Logger Pro Data Acquisition Software

The C901 Logger Pro Software for both PC and Mac computers, integrates real-time graphing, powerful analytical functions, integrated calibration procedures and data storage into one powerful program. Logger Pro also includes a generous site license allowing you to install Logger Pro on every school/institution computer.

C410 LabPro Interface

The C410 LabPro Interface offers unparalleled flexibility, power, portability, and ease of use at an affordable price. Not only can you use LabPro with a desktop or laptop computer, you can also use it with a Palm OS® handheld, or as a stand-alone data collector. The LabPro Interface can collect up to 50,000 samples per second with a 12-bit A/D conversion.
