The Panlab Infrared (IR) Actimeter allows the study of spontaneous locomotor activity, rearings, and optionally hole-board test parameters for exploration in rodents.
Features:
Each frame counts with 16 x 16 infrared beams for optimal subject detection.
Completely modular system
Can be used for evaluation of general activity (one or several animals), locomotor and stereotyped movements or rearings or exploration (nose-spoke detection in the hole-board option).
The infrared photocell system can be set with up to 15 levels of sensitivity to adapt the frames to the typology of the animal (rats, mice).
Optionally, the ActiTrack software option may be used to analyze animal trajectories (distance, speed, permanence time in selected zones).
