A multiple‐cell calorimetric system was constructed, and the experimental procedure for its use was developed. An associated data‐readout system is small, relatively inexpensive, and provides automated thermistor calibration, precise temperature measurements, and a printout of whole‐body SARs. One system was used to determine the SAR of each of 18 mice that were simultaneously exposed to 2.6‐GHz radiation.
