Quark RMR

The gold standard for metabolic measurements in applied human physiology

Quark RMR - The gold standard for metabolic measurements in applied human physiology
  • Quark RMR - The gold standard for metabolic measurements in applied human physiology

OVERVIEW

The Quark RMR is a high-performance metabolic cart designed for gas exchange analysis (VO₂, VCO₂) during both rest and exercise testing.

With multiple configuration options, Quark RMR offers exceptional versatility for applied research and high performance testing.

Its accuracy and reliability have been validated against gold-standard methods in both spontaneously breathing subjects, at rest and during exercise, and mechanically ventilated patients.

  • Quark RMR is a medical device.
