4.2.4.13. Concentration wizard

A Concentration Wizard is available to facilitate the task of

designing a step sequence (or a single step) from a known target

concentration and dose. This tool is accessible both through the flow

evolution toolbar and from the Concentration Wizard … option in the

contextual menu of the chart.

The following information must be entered to set up a concentration

step:

• Animal weight: the weight (always in Kg) of the subject to/from

which the fluid will be infused / withdrawn.

• Flow rate: the expected flow rate to be applied.

• Flow rate units: the units of the flow rate. The possible volume units

are ml, ul, nl and pl and the possible time units are sec, min and hr.

• Concentration: the concentration of the fluid to be infused /

withdrawn (always in mg/ml).

• Number of doses: the amount of doses to be infused / withdrawn.

• Dose to apply: the dose to be infused / withdrawn (always in mg/kg).

• Lag time: amount of time to wait between each dose infusion /

withdrawal (in time format hh:mm:ss).

• Duration: the duration (always in minutes) of the single step to be

inserted. The default value will be 1 min.
