Catheters and Extenders

Catheters Part number Bead Color Dead Volume Description
Short Jugular CX-2011S Light blue 32 µl Use to cannulate the jugular vein. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter can be returned to a home cage for recovery. 
Short Jugular - Straight Tip CX-2011S-ST Light blue 32 µl Use to cannulate the jugular vein. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter can be returned to a home cage for recovery. 
Short Femoral CX-2021S Dark blue 56 µl Use to cannulate the femoral vein. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter can be returned to a home cage for recovery.
Carotid Catheter CX-2012S Red 25 µl Use to cannulate the carotid artery. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter can be returned to a home cage for recovery. 
GI catheter CX-8001S White
(may look tan after sterilization)
56 µl Use to cannulate the stomach, duodenum, or peritoneal cavity. This catheter is designed for dosing. Only the sleeve will lie outside the exit point, so animals with this catheter can be returned to a home cage for recovery. No extenders are needed for hooking animals to the CX-2029S extender allows oral dosing from outside the cage
Bile duct catheter CX-8000S Black 55 µl Use to cannulate the bile duct. Pair this catheter with a CX-8001S GI catheter in the duodenum and MR-5411 connector to recirculate bile when you are not collecting. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point, so animals can be returned to the home cage for recovery.
Femoral Artery or Portal Vein Catheter CX-8002S Orange 55 µl Use to cannulate the femoral artery. Alternatively, this catheter can be used to cannulate the Portal Vein. Only the sleeve will lie outside the exit point, so animals can be returned to the home cage for recovery.
Mouse Jugular CX-2022S Light blue 6 µl Use to cannulate the jugular vein of a mouse. Only the sleeve of the catheter will lie outside the exit point. Extenders should not be used to hook the animal to BASi Culex ®.
Mouse Carotid CX-2052S Red 14.5 µl Use to cannulate the carotid artery of a mouse. Only the sleeve of this catheter will lie outside the exit point. Extenders should not be used to hook the animal to BASi Culex ®.
Mouse GI CX-8003S White
(may look tan after sterilization)
8 µl Use to cannulate the stomach or duodenum of a mouse. Only the sleeve will lie outside the exit point. Use this catheter for dosing, either manually or with the Empis accessory.
Extenders Part Number Bead Color Dead Volume Description
G.I. Catheter Extender CX-2029S No bead 186 µl Use to orally dose an animal manually from outside the cage. If dosing via Empis rather than manually, do not use an extender. GI extenders have a larger volume than vascular catheter extenders, and  are designed to connect to a luer hub syringe.
Catheter Extender CX-2030S No bead 22 µl Use to dose an animal manually from outside the cage. This can be used with any rat catheter for dosing. If you are dosing via Empis rather than manually, do not use an extender. Do not use to hook an animal to BASi Culex.
Crossover Extender CX-2034S No bead 140 µl Use to hook an animal cannulated with a peripheral vein catheter when performing first pass metabolism experiments using the BASi Culex ®. This extender will connect the animal with the second BASi Culex ® Controller for blood sampling.
