ActiMot / MoTil System
|
- Individual acquisition and analysis of the animal's location, rearing & jumping as well as
the hole-board activity.
- Different spatial resolutions available
- High scanning rate (up to 100 Hz)
- For hole board experiments various numbers of holes and hole diameters can be used
- Special inserts placed into the acrylic cages provide two compartments with a central gate to
let the animal pass (e.g. for place preference experiments)
- Can be combined with our Drinking &
Feeding Monitor
|
The TSE ActiMot / MoTil system is a flexible system for studying open field behavior, hole-board
exploration and home-cage activity of small laboratory animals. It can be operated with multiple cage
inserts enabling the operator to perform further experimental tasks, e.g. place preference or
light / dark experiments. Square-shaped or home-cage shaped frames detect the animal's activity via
infrared sensors. Several frames can be stacked on top of each other for advanced open field analysis
in several planes.
Hole Board System
|
- Rat and mice boards with species-specific hole diameter
- During the trial the status of each hole and the total number of visits in each hole is
displayed
- User-defined storage interval
- Online data transfer into an Excel worksheet for further statistical evaluation
- Optional olfactory stimulus below the holes
- Optional pellet application in each hole
|
This space-saving and cost-effective stand-alone hole board system for rats or mice allows evaluation
of exploration behavior in up to 16 holes.
InfraMot - Activity System
|
If you are only interested in monitoring overall motion of animals without detailed coordinate data
this is the best system for you. The InfraMot unit registers activity of one or more subjects by
sensing the body-heat image, i.e. infra-red radiation, and its spatial displacement over time.
An unlimited number of boxes can be monitored! Perform a circadian analysis during or after the
experiment in shortest time.
The sensor assembly is designed to be mounted on top of a home cage but it can also be configured
for any other arena such as an operant cage or an open field. The sensor units are easily removed
for cleaning purposes. |
Mot - Motility Meter
|
In this easy-to-use activity monitor movement detection is based on sensitive force sensors
integrated into a measuring platform that supports cages of any size. Changes in load caused by the
animal's movements are converted into time-integrated pulses and accumulated in activity counters.
User-defined thresholds allow differentiation between slow and fast movements. |
