Solutions for research on small lab animals

Novel object recognition set-up
Testing the ability of rats and mice to recognize a novel object in an otherwise familiar environment is a very common practice to assess object memory. EthoVision XT, together with our open field and video and computer equipment, offers the perfect solution for automating the novel object recognition test.

Social interaction set-up
No matter for what purpose you are investigating social interaction in rodents, our solution helps you out. EthoVision 3.1 automatically tracks the paths of multiple animals and calculates parameters such as the distance between those animals. With The Observer XT detailed social behaviors can be manually scored and analyzed. Ultimately, our open fields provide the ideal environments to test socially interacting animals.

Home cage monitoring system
Testing animals in their home cage environment yields several advantages; it allows observations over consecutive days, limits handling and transport of animals, and takes into account the complex interactions between different motivational systems. Our system allows for automated monitoring of rodent behavior during multiple circadian cycles without human intervention.

 

Gait analysis system for spinal cord injuries
Our gait analysis system provides an objective and sensitive alternative to BBB scoring and other methods. CatWalk measures and analyzes a wide range of parameters related to footprints and gait.

 

Water maze set-up
Our solution, with water mazes, video equipment, and video tracking software, allows you to automate the Morris water maze test in order to obtain highly accurate and reliable test results. EthoVision XT tracks the rat or mouse while it swims through the robust water maze and measures all significant parameters. Subsequently the software automatically analyzes your data by calculating a wide range of statistics.

 

Open field set-up
The open field test is a generally accepted paradigm for measurement of anxiety-related, explorative, and locomotor behavior in animals. The combination of EthoVision XT and our hardware allows you to collect and analyze data on the position of the animal relative to the open field. Data from multiple open fields can be collected and analyzed simultaneously which increases your throughput and saves you a lot of time. 

Elevated plus maze set-up
Our software, hardware, and services together provide the solution you need to conduct the elevated plus maze test. EthoVision XT tracks your animal, measures important parameters, and calculates statistics. The elevated plus maze creates the perfect conditions for EthoVision XT to track animals of any color and under all light circumstances.

 

Zebrafish larvae activity monitoring system
Our complete zebrafish larvae activity monitoring system provides the ultimate solution for high throughput tracking of zebrafish larvae. EthoVision XT can track multiple zebrafisch larvae placed in wells of a well plate and our tower filming system ensures that the camera and plate are always aligned properly. 

 

Zero maze set-up
Our zero maze set-up includes: EthoVision XT, which tracks your animal, measures important parameters, and calculates statistics, and a zero maze, creating the perfect conditions for EthoVision XT to track animals of any color and under all light circumstances. Our dedicated staff installs your system and helps you out when you have questions.

 

Radial arm maze set-up
Our radial arm mazes, video equipment, and video tracking software allow you to automate the radial arm maze test. EthoVision 3.1 tracks your animal while it explores the center and arms of the maze and measures all pertinent parameters. The radial arm maze optionally comes with doors between the center and each arm that can be automatically opened and closed by EthoVision 3.1. Ultimately, our knowledgeable staff installs your system and answers all your questions during the training.

 

T-maze set-up
No matter for what purpose you are using the T-maze and which parameters you are measuring, our T-maze set-up allows you to automate the test. EthoVision XT tracks your animal, measures important parameters, and calculates statistics. The T-mazes create the perfect conditions for EthoVision XT to track your animal, whether you are using rats, mice, or zebrafish.
