Product Index
 
The TSE PhenoMaster / LabMaster represents the most flexible modular system on the market for top-of-the-art automated metabolic and behavioral monitoring of small laboratory animals.

  • Metabolic performance via indirect calorimetry – O2 consumption & CO2 production, Respiratory Exchange Rate (RER), Energy Expenditure (EE), etc.
  • Drinking & feeding behavior with high-precision sensors – amounts and time patterns, up to 6 sensors per cage, controlled food or liquid access per time or amount
  • Spontaneous home cage activity via sensor frames – total activity, ambulatory and fine movements, rearing
  • Running wheel activity – voluntary or forced; options: PC-controlled "enabled / disabled" function, workload control
  • Urine & feces separation in metabolic cages and quantification via weighing sensors
  • Standard home cage environment for unbiased stress-free animal behavior

The Systems comes with the PhenoMaster / LabMaster software for setting up the experiment design and for recording and evaluating trial data. The measured data can be exported into Excel or other standard databases.

The PhenoMaster / LabMaster System is available for a large number of simultaneous measuring places in different standard configurations or according to customer specifications.

PhenoMaster

  • Automated behavioral and physiological phenotyping system for rodents in a high throughput mode
  • Instrumentation for the screening of basic as well as complex animal behavior and physiology is included
  • Modular and automated system with multi-sensor cage batteries of standard home cage size, for rats and mice
  • Different configurations: PhenoCage - PhysioCage - CogniCage - ObesityCage - AnxietyCage

TSE PhenoMaster System is intended for the assessment of specific gene-associated functions on the physiological and behavioral phenotype of small laboratory animals (e.g. rats and mice).

The PhenoMaster System will be a crucial tool for modern drug screening, experimental pharmacology and toxicology, as well as for tumor research and animal welfare studies.
