Indirect calorimetry is the reference standard method for measuring the energy expenditure and metabolic rate of the whole body by measuring respiratory gas exchange (oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production).

HMGU requires a 32-cage multiplex high-throughput indirect calorimetry system for mice with controlled ambient temperature monitoring of metabolic rate between 4 and 32 °C and automated measurement of food and water intake, body weight, impeller activity, and XYZ cage activity.
