The activity wheel with revolution counter is ideal for measuring the free and spontaneous activity of mice or rat in their home cage. The rodent remains in its living area and has free access to the wheel.
Scientific interests
The activity wheel with revolution counter measures activity parameters (activity type, time, speed, sense of rotation etc.) in the long-term, even over the entire lifespan of the animal. This cage is designed to facilitate animal welfare.These sets of cages allow the measurement of activity variations and their timing over extended periods, making the system particularly useful for:
- The study of rhythms of activity and their deregulation
- Ageing studies
- Pharmacology (measurements before and after treatment), anxiety and depression
- Temporal screening in all developmental models (environments pre- and post-natal, KO inducible, injuries ...)
- Anxiety and depression
- Cage rat or mice, transparent Polycarbonate for perfect visibility of the rodents and optimum cleaning
- Lid with stainless steel wire safety clip on the cage, bottle location and pellets
- Wheel stainless steel, no friction
- Counter LCD
- Precision : 360°
- Power: battery 1.5
- Reset
- Easy to use, reliability
- Delivered ready to use
