Why comprehensive surgical monitoring has become so crucial in today’s scientific research space and how the MouseMonitor™ S by Indus Instruments is designed to address these specific needs. Industry experts Dr. Merry Lindsey, Director at the Jackson Center for Heart Research, and Dr. Corey Reynolds, Director of the Mouse Phenotyping Core at Baylor College of Medicine, share their experience with the MouseMonitor™ S and reviewed how it is used as both a vital signs monitor and platform for more precise physiological measurements.

2. InsideScientific is an online educational environment
designed for life science researchers.
Our goal is to aid in the sharing and distribution of scientific
information regarding innovative technologies, protocols,
research tools and laboratory services.
