Animal research analgesimeter 37215

for mice

Measures the force on a rat or mouse paw according to the Randall-Selitto paw-pressure test, it enables rapid and precise screening of analgesic drugs for anti-nociceptive studies, in healthy or inflamed limbs. The device applies a steady increasing force, starting and stopping using the foot pedal. No calibration required. Digital model with force sensors and electronic unit is also available. Exerts a steadily increasing force with easy start and stop. No calibration required. Design maximises care for animals. Model with digital reading available. Background Current model based on over 50 years of expertise and continuous product development. Assesses the force at which the animal feels pain. Typically, the Randall-Selitto method is used as a rapid and sensitive screening of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Rat/mouse and mouse models available with 3 different force ranges. More than 1000 published papers citing Ugo Basile. Rapid and precise screening of analgesic drugs Gradually increases pressure on an inflamed animal paw until the animal makes a flinch response. The force can be continuously monitored by a pointer moving along a linear scale. The paw is placed on a small plinth under a cone-shaped pusher with a rounded tip, which does not hurt the animal (other shapes available on request). The 37215 rat/mouse model features 3 force ranges from 0 to 250, 500, 750g. The 37216 mouse model features 3 force ranges from 0 to 125, 250, 375grams. Also includes a special chisel-shaped pusher (force applicator). No calibration is required. Device is ready for immediate use.
