Measures paw withdrawal latency in unrestrained and unhandled rodents during experiments, in response to an infrared heat stimulus. For studying pain sensitization and thermal pain response recovery.
Automatic detection of paw withdrawal for accuracy.
The P.A.M. (Pressure Application Measurement) device is the original tool designed for measuring mechanical pain threshold on joint. It was specifically designed and validated for Arthritis research and is therefore especially suited to assess joint hypersensitivity in rodent knees or ankles.
Once saved, data can be browsed on the control unit and/or transferred to a PC in proprietary, Excel or...
Measures hypersensitivity to thermal (hot and cold) and/or mechanical stimulation of the orofacial area in rats (mouse adaptor available). For research into a wide range of pain conditions involving the trigeminal nerve.

A positive pressure pump (according to Starling's Ventilator method) for mice. Assists with breathing during anesthesia and surgery or when an animal has an injury or illness that requires respiratory support.
Highly accurate, rate displayed digitally, quiet, durable, high quality, long lifetime. Up to 300 strokes/min. Optimizes oxygenation by minimizing dead space. Range of...
Convenient, cost-effective solution to confine rodents and small animals for anesthesia procedures.
Models available in 2 sizes – smaller model for rodents and larger model for rabbits and similarly sized animals. Clear Perspex with a sliding lid. Quick connection to anesthesia or euthanasia systems using the 2 tubing connectors.
Measures the weight distribution difference between an injured and unaffected hind paw of a mouse or rat.
For the assessment of spontaneous pain in osteoarthritis, bone cancer, nerve injury and post-operative pain studies.
Automatic operation reduces operator bias, optimizes repeatability and saves time. Easy to set up. Data visualization to monitor trends. Fast and easy cleaning...
Screens thermal hyperalgesia and allodynia, conditions often observed in patients with neuropathic pain or inflammation. Also used for testing analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Fixed or increasing temperature (RAMP) modes for dynamic experiments. Reaches user-defined temperatures within minutes. Touch screen or X-PAD software for setting up and monitoring tests, including...
Measures mechanical sensitivity thresholds. For the assessment of hypersensitivity and allodynia for analgesic, nociceptive, neuropathic and postsurgical studies. Original design with clear prism for fast localization of stimulation site and reduced animal stress. Digital data display.
Original design with clear prism for fast localization of stimulation site and reduced animal...
Automates the assessment of “touch sensitivity” on the plantar surface of rats or mice.
For assessment of hypersensitivity and allodynia for analgesia, nociceptive, neuropathic and postsurgical studies.
Unique automation features save significant time for the researcher.
The Durham Holders are new rat holders for trigeminal stimulation, the newest accessory for use with the Plantar Test and Dynamic Plantar Aesthesiometer, manufactured by Ugo Basile.
Provides and easy to use means of immobilizing an animal for surgery or procedures such as imaging. Gas Anesthesia (compared to injections) is a very quick way to induce total unconsciousness and also assists fast recovery.
High quality compact, modular and virtually unbreakable system. Reliable and precise delivery of the anesthetic gas to animals. Expandable system providing...
A positive pressure pump (according to Starling's Ventilator method) for cats, rabbits and small animals of similar size. Assists with breathing during anesthesia and surgery or when an animal has an injury or illness that requires respiratory support.
Highly accurate rate displayed digitally, choice of cylinder/piston assemblies (50, 100 ml), quiet, robust, high quality, and long...
Evaluates the spasm-inducing effect of drugs. Typically assesses the effect of bronchodilation agents. Also used for screening substances inducing opposite effects.
