FlexiVent

flexiVent

The flexiVent is widely regarded as the gold standard for in vivo lung function measurements. It goes beyond traditional resistance and compliance measurements, and captures crucial details about the mechanical properties of conducting airways, terminal airways and parenchyma. The flexiVent achieves the highest sensitivity and reproducibility by precisely controlling experimental conditions.

Buxco Fine-Pointe Resistance & Compliance

Buxco small animal WBP systems can be combined with other technologies to enable more data and holistic approaches to every study including optogenetics, electrical commutator, fluid swivel, and implantable telemetry.

Buxco FinePointe

Buxco Fine-Pointe Whole Body Plethysmography

Collect invasive resistance, dynamic compliance, and elastance data; evaluate spontaneously breathing, ventilated, aerosol challenged, and IV challenged animals; perform longer data collections with a heated bed; and reduce the risk of human error with automated diagnostics and calibration.

Herbert Laboratory of Mucosal Immunology

The Herbert lab is exploring the immunoregulatory and regenerative mechanisms operating at the mucosal interface. We have a keen interest in Trefoil factor proteins, which are a triad of mucus associated cytokines that currently lack bona-fide receptors.  Our work employs a combination of molecular and biochemical approaches to interrogate cellular immunity under steady-state and infectious conditions.
