CosMed Quark RMR Metabolic Testing System

Susquehanna Micro is a trusted metabolic test equipment distributor providing advanced metabolic testing equipment to clinical, research, and performance facilities throughout North America. The CosMed Quark RMR Metabolic Testing System is a gold-standard RMR testing device designed to accurately measure resting metabolic rate and energy expenditure using indirect calorimetry.


Whether you’re performing nutritional assessments, clinical evaluations, or metabolic research, the Quark RMR delivers precise, reliable data to support informed decision-making.

What Is the CosMed Quark RMR?

The CosMed Quark RMR is a high-precision metabolism testing machine that measures oxygen consumption (VO₂) and carbon dioxide production (VCO₂) at rest to determine a subject’s Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). This data represents the minimum number of calories required to maintain vital body functions while at rest.


Understanding RMR is essential for weight management, nutritional planning, clinical diagnostics, and metabolic research.

Key Features of the CosMed Quark RMR Metabolic Testing System

The Quark RMR comes with an all-inclusive software package and advanced measurement capabilities, including:

 

Indirect Calorimetry

  • VO₂, VCO₂, RQ, REE, and related metabolic parameters

Substrate Utilization Analysis

  • %FAT, %CHO, %PRO

High FiO₂ Kit (Optional)

  • Supports elevated oxygen levels

Flexible Patient Applications

  • Suitable for spontaneously breathing subjects
  • Optional configuration for mechanically ventilated patients


This flexibility makes the CosMed Quark RMR metabolic testing system suitable for a wide range of clinical and research environments.

An accurate RMR testing device allows professionals to:


  • Determine individualized caloric needs
  • Support weight loss, weight gain, or weight maintenance plans
  • Improve nutritional interventions
  • Enhance metabolic and clinical research outcomes


Compared to predictive equations, direct measurement using metabolic testing equipment provides significantly more accurate results.

Why Use an RMR Testing Device?

Susquehanna Micro also supplies Patient Filters for CosMed spirometry and pulmonary function equipment. (COS-A182300004)


These PFT patient filters are recommended to help prevent bacteria and viruses exhaled during testing from entering tubing, flow sensors, and internal circuitry.


Benefits of using patient filters include:

  • Reduced risk of cross contamination
  • Improved patient confidence and safety
  • Decreased sterilization requirements
  • Increased lab productivity


Ask our team about compatible filters when purchasing your CosMed Quark RMR system.
