Animal research analgesiometer BIO-T2CT

for micefor ratshot plate

An operator independent test to study pain thresholds in rodents (mouse and rat) by assessing temperature preference (thermal comfort zone) - a new tool for your analgesia/nociception research opening new fields of investigation, and an ideal solution for nociceptive and analgesic drugs screening. Now comes with a brand new software, allowing tracking activity and faster temperature transitions! Presentation Bioseb’s Thermal Place Preference Test, or 2 Temperatures Choice Nociception Test, is an operator independant test to study pain thresholds in rodents (mouse and rat) by assessing temperature preference (comfort zone) - a brand new tool opening new fields of investigation for your analgesia/nociception research. As advised by A. MOQRICH, and published in Moqrich et al (Science 2005, 307: 1468-72), the Thermal Place Preference Test allows researchers to work on unrestrained animals (mice and rats) let free to choose their preferred position (comfort zone) between 2 compartments set at different temperatures. This behavioural assay will allow monitoring temperature preferences, nociceptive thresholds and state in the role of a given gene or a compound on these pain thresholds associated to cold and hot stimulation. Unlike the cold/hot plate test, it is investigator-independent: using the traditional plates, an operator can measure the reaction time of an animal (mouse or rat) exposed to a certain temperature.
