Las Vegas, Nevada
October 3–5, 2023
The course teaches participants how to use Promethion Core for the metabolic and behavioral phenotyping of mice and rats. The participants will learn how to comprehensively phenotype rodents by combining indirect calorimetry measurements with behavior measurements. Behavior measurements include food & water intake, wheel running, and general activities such as walking or resting. The use of accessory devices such as a metabolic treadmill and a stable isotope analyzer will also be taught.
Hands On
The course leads participants through all steps of setting up and running Promethion Core; from calibrating and troubleshooting, to acquiring data, through analyzing and reporting the data.
Cost
$3,423 per participant. Included in this fee are all laboratory costs, course materials, lunches, one-on-one data analysis, review and discussion with our in-house experts, a signed copy of Dr. Lighton’s book, and many extras.
Course Materials
All coursework materials are provided including copies of all presentations.
Instructors
This course is team-taught by a cross-functional group of Sable Systems Scientists and Engineers from the Research, Product Development, and Customer Support Departments. This group of experts will include Dr. John Lighton President/Chief Innovation Officer and author of more than 100 scientific publications on metabolism including the book “Measuring Metabolic Rates – a Manual for Scientists.”
