PortaLite mini

Infant & toddler research in the palm of your hand

  • Measures local oxy-, deoxy- and total hemoglobin concentration changes and tissue saturation index (TSI).

  • Specially designed for pediatric studies and neonatal research.

  • Truly light and portable, weighing only 188 grams, including two mini sensors.

  • Real-time online or offline recording with a high sampling rate (up to 100 Hz) and large battery longevity.

  • On-board event button to easily mark events.

  • Can be used with one or two sensors.

  • Compatible with the Artinis mobile app for easy & quick NIRS recordings in the field.

Mighty insights, mini design

Limitless device range

The offline measurement feature enables measuring outside of Bluetooth range. This allows perfect data capture both in and out of the lab, such as home settings, hospital rooms, outdoor playgrounds, and more. The data you have acquired offline can easily and directly be loaded into our software OxySoft for further analysis.

Intuitively designed for babies & toddlers

The PortaLite MKII mini, weighing only 188 g inclusive two mini sensors, ensures uninterrupted exploration for your little subjects. With quick and easy attachment, the sensors provide long-lasting comfort and a seamless experience, enhancing both the subject's playtime and the researcher's experiment.

Two sensors

The standard PortaLite MKII mini package comes with one control unit and two sensors. Thanks to these two separate connections, the PortaLite MKII mini offers the opportunity to use one or two sensors at the same time; and can even be combined with adult sensors to cover the widest range of measurement depth. This offers maximum flexibility in choice of application. Both sides of the brain, different muscles, or brain and muscle simultaneously — measurement possibilities are endless!

Exceptional data quality

High data quality is crucial to acquiring results that can be trusted. Thanks to shorter inter-optode distances, the mini sensors can be used to bridge the gap between short separation channels and regular channels of the adult sensors.

fNIRS made easy

The NIRS technique

Optical oximetry and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in particular is a tool for non-invasively assessing the oxygenation status and hemodynamics of various organs, e.g., muscle and brain. They rely on mainly two characteristics of human tissue. Firstly, the relative transparency of tissue for light in the NIR range, and secondly the oxygenation-dependent light absorbance of hemoglobin.
