Measures endurance, distance and speed. For studying behavioral, physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses to both acute exercise stress and chronic exercise training.

Original product by Ugo Basile is adaptable for use by rats or mice. Easy set up and control using touch screen. Automatic measurement of endurance, distance and speed. Shock grid for aversive stimulus (if...

The RotaRod is a simple test to assess motor function and coordination in rodents. Motor coordination or fatigue can be evaluated by measuring the time the animal stays on a rotating rod before falling. The Rod can rotate at constant, accelerating, rocking (back and forth) or through complex acceleration/deceleration ramps, thanks to the included PC software XPad.

The Ugo Basile...

This software enables researchers to study behavior in a more reliable and consistent way and over longer time periods than if they were using direct observation or manual recording.

Highly advanced, comprehensive video-tracking system. The software couples an unrivalled depth of features with a simple, familiar design, to provide automated testing in virtually any behavioral...

Enables recording of spontaneous locomotor activity in rats and mice (individual or groups) using infrared (I.R.) beams. General activity can be an indicator of drug action, toxic substances, neurological damage, or daily rhythms in activity.

Tracks horizontal and vertical activity (rearing). Easily integrated with video-tracking system to measure XY position. Easy touch-buttons,...

The three-chamber test is the classic test to assess social behavior and social memory in rodents. This may range from autism disease to dominance tests and social novelty. During the test one animal is freely moving while the other two are confined into circular grid bar cages.

The Ugo Basile system includes a high contrast or IR-transparent floor for the best quality video-tracking...

Based on where a mouse with free movement spends its time in a central arena area with stimulus animals (familiar/unfamiliar/dominant/different gender) positioned in chambers on the outer edge. For research into impairments in social skills that are central to mental disease and developing tools for their assessment in mouse models as well as smell related behavior (anosmia).

High...

The Grip Strength Meter determines the maximum force displayed by an animal in the forelimb, hind-limb or all four limbs, thanks to the full set of accessories included in the Ugo Basile Grip Strength Meter package.

The technique exploits the instinctive resistance of rodents to backward movements and their consequence tendency to grasp (grip) against the pull-back...

The Delta-maze is a custom modification of the T-maze, a special design made possible by the extreme adaptability of our MultiMaze system 41500. The newest scientific research approaches, based on the available current technologies, often combine different methods in the same test in order to obtain more detailed and more interesting data.  As an example, more and more often scientists need to...

The KDS Legato series is a range of advanced, precision syringe pumps. For applications requiring high metering precision at low, pulse-free flow rates.

Intuitive touch screen allows user to easily define complex injection protocols. Display presents real time data.

Provides precise information on the optimum day for mating during estrous cycle in the rats.

A powerful tool for improving reproduction efficiency. Simple, quick operation. Automatically calibrated when turned on. Designed for rats. A probe is available for mice.

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...

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 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.

Set-shifting task has proven to be an effective preclinical tool for drug testing and genetic screening, with direct translational valence in healthy humans and patients with schizophrenia.

The Ugo Basile Operon automatizes the Intra-/Extra-dimensional (ID/ED) attentional set-shifting battery of tests offering visual, olfactory and tactile stimulations, all controlled by software and...

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.

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.

Climbing behavior can be of interest for the most diverse applications.

The Ugo Basile automated system replicates its first manual application in the Pain field, for measuring Pain-Depressed behavior. It showed that, while mild analgesics block pain-depressed climbing, strong analgesics fail to alleviate depression of climbing (Santos et al. 2023, “Climbing behavior by mice as an...
