Body Composition
Whole Body Composition Analyzer is based on technology of Time Domain NMR. It acquires and analyzes TD-NMR signals from all protons in the entire sample volume and can provide amounts of 3 components among the samples: Fat, Free Body Fluid and Lean Tissue values. Please avoid placing any metal tags on tested mice.
