Two detection channels allow the implementation of a dual distance measurement scheme – one light illumination point and two detections placed at two different distances. The double detection channel of NIRSBOX DUAL allows to capture photons that have traveled through different tissue depths. By leveraging advanced data analysis – that must be tackled by users – it becomes possible to more effectively differentiate between superficial and deeper tissue layers. Compared to single-distance TD-NIRS measurements, this approach empowers researchers by providing more comprehensive raw data, enabling more accurate estimation of tissue constituents and oximetry measurements across different depths.

Dual distance measurement scheme
Enhance the information from your measured medium
Pair it with PIONIRS Optical Switch
Unlock the full potential of the NIRSBOX DUAL system by integrating it with our Optical Switch – a critical component for researchers requiring bilateral measurements or simultaneous monitoring at two distinct anatomical sites.
In many clinical and experimental settings, simultaneous monitoring across regions—such as the brain and peripheral limbs—provides essential insight into systemic oxygenation, neurovascular coupling, and inter-regional physiological dynamics. Similarly, bilateral measurements allow for the detection of asymmetries, compensation mechanisms, or localized impairments that would remain unnoticed with single-site monitoring.
With PIONIRS Optical Switch and M1 “Manta” optical probe, you can conduct these advanced protocols with maximum acquisition frequency of 2 Hz, without compromising signal integrity or accuracy.
Different combinations of probes positioning, both monitor cerebral and peripheral oxygentation
