Running wheels provide a convenient method for measuring rodent spontaneous motor activity over long periods of time. Used for research on circadian rhythms, motor function, aging, energy balance, recovering and pain related exercise.

Robust mouse and rat models measure rodent activity across time. Models available with an LCD counter and can also be connected to a Windows PC. Data...

Antidepressant drugs and depression animal model genetic screening are commonly conducted by using the Tail Suspension Test (TST). This test is based on the aversive effect of hanging a mouse of rat by the tail, which elicits its struggling moving upwards in an attempt to escape (which is obviously not possible).

The struggling attempt tends to be shorter in duration and translates...

Studies natural curiosity and exploration behavior of rodents when confronted with a new environment (head-plunging, or nose-poking stereotype) according to the method devised by Boissier-Simon. For testing effects of psychotropic drugs on exploratory behavior.

The Boards are available with opaque or transparent walls for use with video tracking software. Mouse or rat versions.

The flexible rodent Lickometer - Vogel Test can operate as both a simple software-based lickometer as well as a system for drinking-conflict experiments (coupled with electric shocks). For assessing anxiety and the anxiolytic effect of drugs.

Rat and mouse models. Easy data collection within the included software for windows. Up to 5 cages can be managed by 1 PC.

The Porsolt Forced Swim Test (FST), or Porsolt Swim Test (PST), also known as the Behavioral Despair Test, is centered on the way rodents respond to their threat of drowning. This has been correlated to their mood, or, more precisely to their level of depression, with non-depressed animals that swim longer than depressed animals, who, instead, give up and float immobile.

A 2-compartment box that offers visual and tactile differences. For evaluating the abuse potential of substances and the motivational effects of drugs in mice or rats.

Interchangeable floors, optimized for use with video-tracking software or visual scoring, thanks to the grey, high-contrast color and non-smooth, non-reflective paint.

When rodents are exposed to inescapable and unpredictable stress, such as forced swim or inescapable foot shock, they often develop deficits in memory and learning tasks (e.g. Active Avoidance) and they often show analgesic reactions (S.I.A. Stress-Induced Analgesia).

The Ugo Basile Set-Up for Learned Helplessness is based on a sophisticated generator of unpredictable random shocks...

Passive Avoidance Test is used to assess memory function based on the association formed between a specific environmental context, which the animal learns to avoid and an aversive stimulus – represented by a mild foot shock.

Efficient and reliable. Silent, automated sliding door divides the dark and light compartments. Systems for mice or rats. Manage up to 4 cages with one...

A classic way to assess short or long-term memory in small laboratory animals (rodents) using a fear-motivated avoidance task. Used routinely in animal model studies of aging and Alzheimer-type dementia, including the search for new therapeutic drugs.

An efficient, reliable instrument for use with mice (or small rats). A silent, automated sliding door divides compartments. Precision...

The cubicle is a sound-attenuating chamber that isolates small animal subjects from distracting ambient light, sound and activity. For behavioral studies including operant behavior (Skinner), self-administration, etc.

High-level soundproof efficacy, noiseless fan, control box. Extra fixtures (speaker and video camera holder) for fear conditioning studies. Available in standard, large...

A set up for testing active avoidance (also called automatic reflex conditioner or shuttle box), i.e. learning to predict the occurrence of an aversive event, based on the presentation of a specific stimulus. Enables performance of a wide range of avoidance experiments using a flexible schedule. Precise detection of avoiding aversive event. Manage up to 4 cages with one controller.

The LUX Infrared (IR) illuminator allows for illumination from below of all the Ugo Basile IR mazes, which are made of an IR translucent plastic. This has the double advantage of: making experiments in the darkness easy and enhancing the contrast for better detection, no matter the animal color

The lux is available in 3 sizes, it guarantees a uniform illumination and incorporates IR...

The object recognition test is now among the most commonly used behavioral tests for memory studies in rodents. In its simplest design, an animal is presented with two similar objects during the first session and then one of the two objects is replaced by a new object during a second session or is moved to a different location.

This test is based on the spontaneous tendency of rodents...

The Cincinnati Maze (9T-maze) is an evolution of the Biel Maze with an increased number of interconnected T-mazes.

It is most commonly used as a water maze to avoid scent issues and is used on rats to study egocentric navigation (memory). In order to avoid any possibility of external cue use, the maze is constructed in IR-transparent Perspex to run the experiment in full darkness and...

The Tube Dominance test is a simple behavioral assay to assess social hierarchy and social dominance in rodents. The Tube Dominance Test is commonly employed in laboratory settings to study social behavior and interactions in a controlled environment. It can be used with or without food rewards to incentivize the animals to move through the tube. In the simple version, without rewards, two...

The Open Field is used to assess exploratory behavior. Validated for use in the measurement of anxiety related behaviors. Also suited to the novel object recognition (NOR) test.

Decreased anxiety leads to increased exploratory behavior. Increased anxiety results in less locomotor motion and preference for the edges of the field.
