Activity monitoring is measured via a grid of equally spaced infrared beams that traverse the animal cage both front to back and left to right
Easily study open field, reaching behaviour, place preference, temperature sensation, metabolic studies and more with the Harvard Apparatus activity monitoring system.
Activity monitoring is measured via a grid of equally spaced infrared beams that traverse the animal cage both front to back and left to right.
When the animal's body breaks a specific beam, the animal's position is determined by the analyser and recorded in the software.
Vertical sensors are an additional option to monitor rearing or jumping.
Additional options make this system adaptable for light/dark studies, sound studies, learning, and memory.
Dedicated software is the heart of this system.
A zone layout utility allows the user to create and manipulate zones within the cage to see how long the animals are in each zone.
Plotting software and graphing functions allow the user to graph real-time data as it is collected.
