SMALL ANIMAL INSTRUMENTS, INC

Small Animal Instruments, Inc. specializes in the design and manufacturing of precision laboratory instrumentation for preclinical research, with a focus on MRI-compatible physiological monitoring and real-time gating systems for small animals. The company develops embedded sensor arrays, signal processing modules, and trigger synchronization technologies tailored for rodent studies in high-field magnetic resonance environments. Their technical expertise spans biomedical signal acquisition, electromagnetic interference mitigation, and low-latency data acquisition systems, enabling non-invasive, high-fidelity monitoring of cardiac, respiratory, and neurological activity in live subjects during imaging procedures. A key differentiator is their ability to engineer equipment that maintains MRI compatibility without compromising signal integrity or temporal resolution, addressing critical challenges in translational neuroscience and oncology research. The contractor has delivered solutions to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense, supporting advanced biomedical research initiatives in both civilian and defense contexts. For HHS, they have provided specialized monitoring systems for rodent imaging labs, while for DoD, they have supplied analogous gating technologies likely used in military medical research programs involving animal models of trauma, radiation exposure, or neurological injury. Their primary industry focus lies in surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (NAICS 339112) and analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (NAICS 334516), positioning them at the intersection of biomedical engineering and preclinical research infrastructure. They serve niche markets requiring rugged, high-precision instrumentation for in vivo experimentation under stringent electromagnetic constraints. Small Animal Instruments, Inc. is a small business headquartered in Stony Brook, New York, with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic proximity to major research institutions supports close collaboration with academic and government laboratories, reinforcing their role as a specialized supplier in the preclinical research ecosystem.
