Tail Flick Analgesia Meters (Panlab)
A sensitive test for studying the analgesic properties of pharmacological substances. It can also be used to evaluate basal thermal pain sensitivity or to study putative genetic differences among animals without drug.
- Digital display
- Precise intensity light beam adjustment
- Optimal detection due to perfect alignment of heat stimulus and photo beam
- A light beam shows the point on which the heat source will focus
- Manual and remote trigger
- Groove for correct tail placement
- Automatic cut-off
- New optional Data Transfer software SEDACOM 2.0
Software: SEDACOM Software (Panlab)
Rodent Holders
Panlab holders for rodents are commonly used in behavioral experiments requiring an animal contention, immobilization or a limitation of the animal movements/displacements, such as non-invasive blood pressure, tail-flick and startle reflex tests.
- Perpex cylinders
- Sliding doors
- Slot for the tail
- Available in 6 different sizes
Hot Plate Analgesia Meter (Panlab)
For a rapid and precise screening of analgesic drug properties on small-laboratory animals according to the ‘hot-plate test’.
- Digital set point
- Built-in electronic timer
- Foot switch timing operation
- Optional Data Transfer software SEDACOM 2.0
Software: SEDACOM Software (Panlab)
Hot/Cold Plate Analgesia Meters
The Hot/Cold Plate Analgesia Meter is an innovative instrument opening new investigation fields for your analgesia research by allowing you to test animal’s sensitivity to pain resulting from exposure to heat or cold.
- Simple to use, fast and accurate
- Can be used as a stand-alone instrument
- Allows testing of sensitivity to both hot and cold stimulus
- Unmatched temperature stability and control for both heat and cold
- Fast reach to set temperatures
- Homogeneous temperature surface
- Practical foot switch timing operation
- Optional Ramp software will allow the user to define temperature ramps and loops (slope in °C/min, start and end points) and store results
Thermal Place Preference
For testing animal sensitivity to pain resulting from exposure to heat or cold.
- Easily monitor thermal place preference and nociceptive thresholds
- Unrestrained animals allows for maximum accuracy
- Automatic Detection Software eliminates the user subjectivity
Thermal Gradient test
The Thermal Gradient Test is one of the very few thermal nociception tests being operator independent on freely moving rodents (mice and rat).
- Continuous thermal gradient established over a 120 cm long base plate
- Monitor 2 mice or 1 rat
Plantar Test (Hargreaves’ Method) Analgesia Meters
The Plantar Test (Hargreaves’ Method) enables the researcher to discern a peripherally mediated response to thermal stimulation caused by drugs in rodents.
- Automatic detection of paw withdrawal (no visual score needed!)
- Validity unaffected by repeated testing
- I.R. intensity adjustable in the interval 01-99 (in one digit steps)
- Modular animal enclosure, from 3 to 12 spaces, conveniently designed to restrain mice or rats
- Software included
- Data portability via the included memory key
- Each animal can serve as its own control
