Moor Instruments manufacture a wide range of probes designed to help you assess flow from almost any tissue. We are more than happy to advise on your particular application but hope too that the following general notes are useful.

• Skin probes [0]
• Low profile [0]

Skin probes are available with two main fibre configurations, twin or multi-fibre designs. Multi fibre designs usually contain a ring of up to eight collecting fibres around a central delivery fibre. This provides an averaged signal for a larger tissue area than would otherwise be provided by the conventional twin fibre model.

Skin probes are usually fixed directly to the skin with double sided adhesive discs, although they can be used in other applications (e.g. bone, visceral measurements) and with other equipment (e.g. Iontophoresis). Please refer to the Accessories and Iontophoresis catalogues.

PRM2 users can specify combined laser Doppler and temperature probes. Skin probes usually combine the temperature measurement within the probe head itself although it is possible to supply any probe with a separate temperature measuring branch. Please call for details.

The standard length for all probes is 2 metres. Longer lengths can be supplied on request. The range of probe holders for these (and other) probes is described in the accessories page.

DP1T-V2 Skin Probe A combined temperature and optic probe that delivers light at a right angle. Shares the same dimensions as the DP1-V2.

Low profile designs are either used where access is difficult (e.g. oral mucosa) or to reduce application pressure if the probe is to be covered by bandages.
Various designs are available, including the titanium disc probe and the near flat silicon probe.

DP11sc Low Profile Right Angle Delivery The DP11sc is made of flexible silicon rubber tape, thickness 2mm, designed for use under a bandage or pressure cuff. The silicon tape is available at either 90 or 150mm lengths.
