The animal running wheel system can effectively measure animal movement and is suitable for research on animal physiological rhythms, circulatory rhythms, food intake, narcotics (drugs), or pharmaceutical experiments. It can also be used as a module of energy metabolism.
The animal running wheel system is an autonomously movable running wheel design, relying on the animal’s spontaneous pedaling to drive the running wheel to rotate, with stable function and good repeatability. It can make effective quantitative measurements of animal movement and is suitable for research on animal physiological rhythms, circulatory rhythms, food intake, narcotics (drugs) or pharmaceutical experiments. It can be used as a module of energy metabolism.
Features
Applicable animals: rats, mice
The system comprises animal cages, running wheel components, monitoring sensors, and the host. The monitoring host has a ten-inch touchscreen.
Recording parameters: Instantaneous speed, maximum speed, cumulative exercise distance, cumulative exercise time, etc., which can record the animal’s activity curve.
It can collect 64 running wheel parameters in real time at the same time, up to 30 days of data:
The small animal running wheel is made of stainless steel, and the runner rotates smoothly and stably;
Different wheels of different sizes can be selected and used for rat or mouse exercise experiments according to users’ needs.
The animal running wheel system uses a transparent PC animal cage, which is easy to clean. Inside, there is a drinking bottle and a food trough.
