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...

The Ugo Basile Fear Conditioning system is composed of:

• Isolation cubicle, including all electronics, fan, IR/VIS lights, camera (up to 16 cubicles can be connected to 1 PC)
• The animal cage is available in different dimensions for rats and mice, plus the observational learning version to allow two animals to see each other. The standard...

The complex wheel add-on for mouse and rat RotaRod introduces an additional complexity element for the animal to be tested. Thanks to the asymmetrical and adjustable bars it increases the test sensitivity and add a higher involvement of motor cortex and hippocampus, as compared to the classic rotarod test.

The Ugo Basile RotaRod is the 1st and original, invented after the Dunham and...

The Operant Fear Conditioning Cage couples a classic skinner box with sound and light cues for complex experiments, as well as standard operant tests and fear conditioning protocols.

Enlargers for Mouse and Rat RotaRod are available to add multiple parameters to change the complexity of the experiment. Enlargers add-on for RotaRod come with grooves to increase the diameter of the rod or in smooth rubber to increase the diameter of the rod and change the surface from a grooved one to a smooth one. All the types of enlargers can be easily added to the rotating drum thanks to...

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...

An essential instrument to measure current on Ugo Basile devices using electric shock grid, such the Fear Conditioning System, Active an Passive avoidance system.

Give the research the ability to measure the electric shock current not measurable by a common volt-meter. To ensure that the same current is delivered on multiple electric shock grids, while performing multiple test in...

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...
