RotaRod



  • Available for rats & mice
  • Individual timers for measuring the time the animals stay on the drum
  • Animal falls are detected by light-beam sensors mounted into each compartment
  • Speed range: 1-60 rpm whether constant or accelerating/decelerating, reverse rotation possible
  • Programmable speed profile: combination of constant speed and acceleration/deceleration phases of definable duration
The TSE RotaRod System Advanced is a flexible tool for investigation into various effects on motor coordination of small laboratory animals (mice, rats). The system combines maximal experimental flexibility with constantly reliable measuring data.

Grip Strength Meter


  • For rats, mice and other small laboratory animals
  • Available as a stand-alone or PC-based sensor system
  • In the PC based system the measuring values are transferred directly into an MS Excel sheet for performing further analysis

The TSE Grip Strength Meter system is a measuring system for determining the gripping strength, i.e. holding strength, of a small laboratory animal. Within the context of neuromuscular investigations this test system can be used to quantify the effects of hormones, toxins, muscle relaxants as well as disease or the aging process on the muscular strength of the animal.

Treadmill System


  • Available for rats & mice
  • Individual timers for measuring the time the animals stay on the running surface
  • Light-beam sensors mounted into each compartment detect when the animals leave the running surface
  • Speed range: 0.07-2 m/s
  • Programmable speed profile (constant & accelerating speed model only): combination of constant speed and acceleration/deceleration phases of definable duration
  • Up to 8 lanes motor-driven inclination adjustment: -10°-25°
  • Training mode possible (electric stimuli can be applied manually)
The TSE Treadmill System is a fully computerized electronically controlled system for small laboratory animals. The treadmill is driven by a servo-controlled motor which provides precise operator-defined tread speed. It is suitable for investigating the effectiveness of drugs on impaired motor coordination of the skeletal muscles.
