Advanced electro-sedation technology eliminating the need for chemicals

• Short induction and recovery times
• Reduced operating costs
• No chemical handling issues

The Smith-Root Laboratory Sedation System (LSS) provides a superior chemical-free method of performing fish sedation that is both highly effective and efficient.

The LSS system consists of a specially designed tank and control unit engineered to deliver an electrical field to induce sedation. The system can be used to induce a state of sedation sufficient to perform procedures such as fin clipping, gamete collection, sorting, measurements, etc. The Laboratory Sedation System offers adjustable settings to account for fish size and the desired duration of sedation.

Touch Screen

The LSS’s touch screen allows for complete touch control of operational settings including: Voltage, Duty Cycle, Waveform, Dosage Time, and Frequency. Frequently used settings can be saved and recalled with a touch of the onscreen buttons.

Chemical-Free

The LSS offers advanced electro-sedation waveform technology that eliminates the need for chemicals. Induction and recovery times are reduced and chemical handling issues are eliminated.

Portable Power

The LSS can be powered by either wall-power or by the internal rechargeable battery. The internal battery can provide a full day’s charge depending on output settings.

Safety

The LSS is equipped with safety contacts to only allow the delivery of an electric field in the tank when the clear lid is in place, ensuring lab personnel safety.
