Abstract: | Electro-mechanical equipment for multiple blood withdrawal from small experimental animals applied to a centrifuge with maximal 6g gravitational overloading has been developed and tested. The equipment consists of a transmitter and receiver equipped by microcomputers. Active rotor stepping motors are driving four pairs of syringes. It is also possible to measure the instantaneous gravitational force using an accelerometric transducer. This telemetrically regulated blood sampling allows studying selective effects of hypergravity during centrifugation. It can be also used for study of microgravity effects in the animal organism during space flights for the understanding of the mechanism of the changes of the activity of neuroendocrine system and metabolic processes. |
