Kastl is a complete and versatile product for recording image data from multi-well plates, petri dishes and of custom behavioral arenas of various sizes. It includes one or multiple cameras, Motif software, an enclosure with lighting, temperature and humidity measurement and can be extended with stimulus and stimulus control.
Kastl tracking and behavioral analysis is provided via seamless integration with Loopy - a simple, web-browser based software for managing and analyzing your data - including tracking and plotting. All Kastl systems include a free trial subscription to Loopy.
Two standard Kastl models are currently available (Kastl-HighRes and Kastl-Single) and custom configurations are available upon request. Kastl can be adapted to almost any species or organism (maybe not elephants, for those we would recommend the Motif Field System).
