Gauss Labs PEMF blog

For competition horses, the FEI caps PEMF field strength at 1,000 Gauss. Here's what the limit means, and how a certification shows which device-and-accessory pairing stays under it.

Frequency is one of the few PEMF specs you can actually use, once you read the band name for what it is: a pulse rate, separate from strength and from the pulse edge. Here's what it tells you, what the devices we've measured actually run, and how to use it.

On a single device, swapping the coil changed the peak field from 22,410 to 8,670 Gauss, and the lower-peak coil put out nearly twice the total field. The accessory, not the device, sets what you get.

For a horse, a coil's coverage and how evenly its field spreads matter more than the biggest Gauss value on the spec sheet. Here's what to look for when comparing large-area PEMF accessories.

Rise time, fall time, and slew rate describe what a PEMF pulse does in its few microseconds. Here is what each one means, measured on a real device.

We bought a Sota Magnetic Pulser and put it on our instruments. Here is its real measured output: peak field, slew rate, field reach, and pulse rate, at each setting.

A PEMF device works by pulsing a magnetic field on and off. It's the change, not the raw strength, that reaches your tissue, which is why a big Gauss number isn't the whole story. Here's the plain-English version.

You're shopping for a full-body PEMF mat, and the spec that jumps out is the coil count. More coils sound like more field. But a count is a headline, and it leaves out two things that shape what your body actually gets: whether the coils fire all at once or one at a time, and how evenly the field is spread across the surface.

Sign in to the Gauss Labs customer portal and you can now see the magnetic field your device produces as a 3D shape you can spin around, then watch it pulse on your device's own measured waveform. It isn't a stock illustration. It's the actual field we measured in our lab, rebuilt into a shape you can look at.

You're comparing two devices, and the spec sheets don't even agree on units. One lists Gauss, the next lists Tesla, and a full report might add a Weber figure too. Here's how to tell which values you can line up against each other, and which you can't. Two side-by-side panels. The left panel, flux density, shows a flat disc with a probe arrow pointing to a single highlighted point and the units Gauss, Tesla, millitesla, and kilogauss, with the conversions 1 Tesla equals 10,000 Gauss and 1 millitesla equals 10 Gauss. The right panel, total flux, shows the same disc…
