EGG Electrogastrogram Smart Amplifier

Description

The EGG100D Smart Amplifier is designed specifically for recording electrogastrogram signals. It amplifies the electrical signal resulting from stomach and intestinal smooth muscle activity and monitors the potential on the skin surrounding, or surface of, the intestine and stomach, which is indicative of the degree of slow wave contraction. AcqKnowledge™ software includes a fully automated EGG Gastric wave analysis routine for single and multi-channel EGG recordings. Smart Amplifiers are designed for great data—they improve performance by amplifying the physiological signal close to the subject, which allows a high-level voltage connection to the data acquisition system and reduces noise artifact.

Connect short-cable leads from the proven BN Series of accessories—BN-EL*-LEAD3 electrode lead if a ground electrode is required or a BN-EL*-LEAD2 electrode lead if there is already another Smart Amplifier with a ground lead on the subject—and use with disposable EL500 Series electrodes.

• If DC EGG measurements are required, use an EGG100C or contact BIOPAC to discuss options
• For wireless EGG, see BioNomadix EGG
• For EGG in the MRI, data can be acquired with a custom EGG module

The EGG100D  is part of a complete research system solution. These amplifiers interface with the MP200/MP200 data acquisition & analysis platform and AcqKnowledge software, allowing advanced analysis for multiple applications—see Featured Research in ‘Details’ below.
