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...

A powerful complement to any stimulator. Delivers pulses for up to four preparations simultaneously. Adjustable polarity and intensity for each channel.

Accurately measures the nociceptive threshold to infrared heat stimulus on the rat or mouse tail. Used for rapid screening of analgesic drugs by measuring reaction time to heat, even in anesthetized animals, crucial for repeated tests, thanks to the reflexive nature of the tail flick response.

Adjustable I.R. intensity, bright touch-screen display with intuitive controls. Comfortable...

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...

The Thermal Place Preference test can be considered an evolution of the Hot/Cold plate test and it allows monitoring of temperature preferences by measuring the time spent in two compartments set at two different temperatures.

This two temperature nociception test can be used in a mouse or rat and is composed of a standard hot/cold plate and of an hot plate, connected by a corridor. It...

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.

High throughput with data recorded from up to 16 cages with ORO-Software. Real time data display. Non-invasive, respectful test. Comprehensive metrics and easy data...

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...

Versatile, automated modular device empowers researchers to assemble a custom configuration perfectly suited to spatial learning and spatial memory studies in rats or mice.

The same modular device can be transformed into automated radial, Y, T and Delta mazes by simply rearranging the arms.

Surface texture is selected for best rodent comfort as well as optimal results with...

Touch sensitivity in unrestrained animals is traditionally tested with Von Frey filaments, which is a tedious and experimenter-dependent assay.

The Electronic Von Frey system solves the multiple measurement (i.e. multiple filaments) issue and the experimenter bias by using a hand-held force sensor with a rigid metal. The scientist gradually increases the force applied to the animal...

Touch sensitivity is traditionally tested with Von Frey filaments, which is a tedious and experimenter-dependent assay.

The Dynamic Plantar Aesthesiometer is a unique system, which fully automates the amount of force applied by an electromagnetic, silent motor exerting from 0 to 100 grams at a rate adjustable from 0 to 50 seconds.

When the animal responds, by withdrawing its...

In the late ‘80s Dr. Hargreaves invented a method to assess thermal pain sensation in unrestrained rodents by stimulating the single hind paw and thus allowing for unilateral/contralateral experiments. Ugo Basile made a science-grade instrument to perform this stimulation and automatically measure response, it became a gold-standard with more than 2,000 publications in 2022.

A thermal...
