Easily test the effects of drugs, brain damage, or diseases on motor coordination or fatigue in rodents with the Panlab/Harvard Apparatus Rota Rod
Time latency to fall is recorded in both minutes and seconds and the rotational speed is automatically recorded.
For added flexibility for the experiments, Panlab offers a single unit that can accommodate both mice and rats.
The Rota Rod is controlled by an advanced microprocessor to provide precise timing control and ultra-accurate speed regulation.
Rotation can be electronically set at a constant speed from 4 to 40rpm using a dial on the front panel.
Acceleration rate can be selected after a defined time (30 seconds, 1, 2, 5, or 10 minutes).
The Panlab/Harvard Apparatus Rota Rod includes data acquisition software to export data through the RS-232 to view a table of lanes/trail.
