This stereotaxic apparatus with new design has made new breakthroughs in terms of working
principle, stability and operability, which features as follows:
1. Three dimensional movement and positioning mode of X, Y and Z axes.
The X-Y two-dimensional platform fixes the animal head. The X-Y platform moves in the X and Y
directions through the screw transmission of X and Y axes, and the animal head and body
accordingly move smoothly, so as to locate the X (ML) and Y (AP) two-dimensional coordinate
points in the brain area.
2. More stable performance and longer service life.
The transmission principle of combining screw drive and slide rail rolling is adopted, which is
similar to the rolling forward of the train wheel on the rail, reducing the friction in the
movement, ensure long term stability and smooth operation.
3. Open operation space.
The space above the animal's head and body is Z-axis only, which makes more space for the
coordinated use of other instruments and equipment and manual operation.
Rodent Electronic Von Frey/Plantar Analgesia Meter, it allows researchers to determine the mechanical pain sensitivity threshold in a simple and accurate method, through the sensitive filament stimulation. It is commonly used in screening and testing analgesic drugs, and used to determine the mechanism of central and peripheral nerve analgesia.
The Rodent Treadmill is widely used in the research of physical fitness, endurance, motor injury, motor nutraceuticals, motor physiology, pharmacology, metabolic and cardiovascular research etc. It consists of the main unit, incorporating the drive, the shocker, the control unit with 7 Inch touch screen, the running belt enclosed within a chamber constructed of acrylic and aluminum. The chamber contains a shock grid, which serves as an aversive stimulus to motivate exercise. Two sizes are available in our company, smaller size for mice and a larger size for rats.
RotaRod is mainly used for motor coordination, balance testing, anti-fatigue drug screening and identification testing, acted as the effective tool to assess motor performance in rodents using the natural fear of falling as motivation. When the rodent falls off its cylinder section on to the plate below, the rotating time and the speed of falling will be recorded.
Running wheels, or Activity Wheels, are designed to provide an easy convenient method for measuring laboratory mice or rats’ motor activity over long periods of time, data acquisition system is included. Especially useful for research on circadian rhythms, motor function, aging, energy balance, recovering and pain related exercise.The running-wheel is made of stainless steel, provided with low friction Teflon bushing, for quite smooth action. The wheel is housed in a standard clear polycarbonate cage and a stainless steel wire lid with exclusive locks fasten securely to the cage body. Our running wheel can record both the forward and reverse running data, including the number of turns, distance, running time, and the corresponding average speed in two directions respectively. The data can be collected by connecting to the software and mini-printer to record the activity of the rodents real time. Up to 24 wheels can be connected to the same counter or PC at the same time.
Sleep deprivation (SD) impairs spatial, emotional, and working memories, and augments anxiety-like behaviors. The sleep deprivation apparatus from Science is an automated device that provides movement at programmed intervals to prevent REM sleep. The apparatus consists of a clear acrylic chamber atop a motor and screen to set time and rotations of a bar inside the chamber to prevent the rodent from sleeping in a safe way. Food and water apparatuses are available to allow long-term experimentation. Our device equips with a circadian rhythm light control system, and it can be used for optogenetic experiments and calcium ion imaging experiments.
Standard Stereotaxic Instruments is the basic equipment of neuroscience research(100 micron resolution) . The “U”-shaped frame design ensures stability. Replace the rat and mouse adapter to realize the positioning of the brain area of the rat and the mouse.
Unique UP indicator to prevent incorrect operation
Double-lead screw design, more stable and accurate operation
Relieve eyestrain by light interrupted
Curved nose clamp secure the animal firmly
Adaptors of rats, mice, birds, cats and other different animal are optional
Optogenetics, Electrophysiology and Micro imaging are widely used in Brain Research. To well
provide a more natural and accurate condition, rather than under the anesthesia, BioMed Easy
manufactures the specific Stereotaxic Instrument for free moving mouse. Together with
behavior experiment, it can greatly help the researchers to detect the Mouse neuron, explore
the complexity and diversity of the brain.
The Tail flick test is used to measure the nociceptive threshold and variation to infrared heat stimulus on the rat or mouse tail.Basically, a thermal stimulus is applied on the tail of the rodent; when the animal feels discomfort, it reacts by a sudden tail movement. The tail flick reaction time is then measured and used as an index of animal pain sensitivity. Science adopts the IR technology in the thermal stimulus.
