The present invention provides improved anesthesia delivery systems that consistently and reliably deliver anesthesia gas to multiple gas outlets. The systems are particularly useful for anesthetizing multiple mammals and living specimens to be imaged by a low-light level imaging system. The anesthesia delivery systems are suitable for use with conventional oxygen sources, and convert the high pressures associated with a conventional oxygen source to lower pressures suitable for use with small mammals and suitable for combination with an anesthesia gas at low flow rates. The systems include an anesthesia gas source that combines anesthesia gas with the oxygen. The combination of anesthesia gas and oxygen is supplied to one or more multiple outlets.
A gas delivery system capable of delivering an anesthesia gas to a plurality of gas outlets, the system comprising:
An imaging system for capturing an image of a living specimen with a camera, the system comprising:
A gas delivery device capable of providing anesthesia gas and oxygen to multiple living specimens, the gas delivery device comprising an inlet for receiving anesthesia gas and oxygen, multiple specimen interfaces, and at least one channel for communicating anesthesia gas and oxygen between the inlet and the multiple specimen interfaces, wherein the at least one channel comprises a buffer volume sufficiently large to substantially reduce flow rate fluctuations to the multiple specimen interfaces.
An induction chamber capable of providing anesthesia gas to a living specimen, the induction chamber comprising:
An imaging system for capturing an image of a living specimen with a camera, the system comprising:
