The Ugo Basile Pellet Dispenser works with pellets between 10-20 mg for mice and 22-45 mg for rats. It has an extremely high delivery accuracy thanks to the redundant photobeam check.

An embedded electronic board manages the DC motor and the photodiodes. An ethernet cable connects the Pellet Dispensers to the 8 channel control unit to independently manage up to 8 pellet...

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 2,600 publications.

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.

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...
