Carleton University Biomedical Engineering (CUBE) Research Laboratory

This lab has a variety of specialized biomedical engineering sensors and measurement equipment, including:

High end measurement equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes from National Instruments and Tektronics)

Medical ultrasound imaging with linear and convex probes

Ultrasonic measurements with a mechanical 3D scanner

Electrical impedance tomography imaging system from lead groups/companies in the field (Cardinal Health, Goe MFII; Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Sigmatome II; Uni Cape Town; Swisstom, Mark I)

Sixteen channel Grass-Telefactor biological signal acquisition system capable of collecting various biological signals, such as electromyograms, electrocardiograms, electroencelphograms, and electroneurograms

Bruker Minspec NMR spectrometer capable of bulk NMR relaxometry and diffusometry measurements

Bioimpedance measurement system consisting of a frequency response analyzer (Model 1255A, Solartron Analytical) and an impedance interface (Model 1294A, Solartron Analytical)

Equipment for physiology and respiratory monitoring, including total body plethysmography is available.

AlphaMOS electronic nose system, consisting of the FOX and KRONOS technologies (Metal Oxide Sensor array system and Fingerprint Mass Spectrometry, respectively), with an autosampler.

High-power workstations available for graduate students, including a number of GPU-multicore systems for acceleration of biomedical informatics computing
