Circadian Rhythm & Sleep

NeuroLogger

Wireless & Cost-Effective Solution for EEG Recordings in Freely Moving Animals

The NeuroLogger is a versatile tool designed for use in freely moving animals across various behavioral paradigms and in the study of animal models for epilepsy and sleep disorders. With its plug on/off functionality, it serves as a data logger capable of recording 4 channels of EEG/EMG activity. What sets it apart is its straightforward and cost-effective battery replacement process, ensuring uninterrupted recording cycles.

Key Advantages:

Enhanced Subject Freedom: Untethered design minimizes behavioral disruption during recordings.

Social Recording Capabilities: Enables simultaneous recordings from multiple animals in shared environments.

Precise Event Marking: Synchronizes recordings with external triggers for accurate event analysis.

Integrated Movement Monitoring: Provides real-time feedback on animal activity levels.

Optional External Signal Alignment: Seamlessly integrates timing signals for enriched data context.

NeuroLux

Freely Moving Group-Housed Animal Stimulation & Monitoring

NeuroLux – the first commercially available platform allowing wireless optogenetic stimulation and physiological monitoring of central and peripheral nervous system as well as specific organs. This flexible and price-affordable solution offers, on a unique platform, a vast variety of methodologies ranging from optogenetic stimulation, drug delivery, real-time physiological monitoring and photometry, all in freely moving animals to maximize data reliability and reproductivity.

The NeuroLux Starter Kit is an all-inclusive package of all hardware, controller, as well as software to upgrade this technology quickly and easily in your existing experimental platform or housing cage. It allows up to 8 additional cages to be run simultaneously to increase experimental throughput. Master module powers and communicates other modules.

Stellar Telemetry

Multichannel Implantable Telemetry for In-Vivo Monitoring of Physiological Parameters

All Digital Solution

Unlike traditional cage-based setups, Stellar Telemetry is an animal-centric system that prioritizes minimal hardware requirements.

All-Digital Solution: Stellar requires only one antenna in the room, which is only 5m+/10ft away from animals or less.
The Universal Receiver: Enables simultaneous data collection from up to 8 real-time implants or up to 32 memory implants.
Flexible Antenna Placement: Conveniently positioned on walls, ceilings, or stands, allowing for optimal data transmission and reception.
Versatile Compatibility: Stellar Telemetry serves diverse research needs with a single, streamlined setup seamlessly adaptable across different species and labs.

Continuous & Memory-Type Implants

Group Housing Compatible: Break free from the constraints of individual housing, animals can be group-housed while individual data is collected with precision and accuracy.
Effortless Scheduling: The measurement schedule can be programmed remotely and changed at any time after implantation.
Minimalistic Setup: No receivers around cages; simple USB connection(s) to your computer or laptop.
Expand Your Research: Simply purchase new implants and use the same system hardware and software with any Stellar implant model across all animal species.

Revolutionizing Animal Research

Seamless Integration: Conduct telemetry recording alongside other tests, such as exercise or cognition testing, with ease.
Guaranteed Data Integrity: Scheduled recording with memory implants ensures lossless storage and transmission whenever the antenna is within range.
Efficient Battery Usage: Implants conserve battery power by activating specific signals and settings as requested through an intuitive user interface.

Running Wheels

Voluntary & Active Wheels for Rodents

Wheel running is a widely utilized method for assessing voluntary physical activity in rodents, particularly in the study of circadian rhythms. Additionally, running wheels can function as environmental enrichment, enhancing animal welfare during prolonged experiments.

TSE Running Wheels for rats and mice are ingeniously suspended from the home cage lid, optimizing living space for the animal. This setup seamlessly integrates with ActiMot3 frames, enabling comprehensive evaluation of total activity levels. The optional Motor Skill drum boasts removable rods, allowing for the creation of irregular rod patterns. This sophisticated wheel is a potent tool for early detection of motor deficits, surpassing traditional tests like the RotaRod in efficacy.

IntelliCage

New Standard for Rodents Behavioral & Cognitive Phenotyping

IntelliCage is a fully automated system allowing you to assess home cage behavior and cognitive performance of up to 16 mice or 8 rats respectively while preserving social interaction. This unique experimental setup fosters natural social behavior in a biologically relevant, enriched and highly standardized home cage context. Therefore, IntelliCage minimizes handling and human intervention, increasing task validity, data reproducibility and ensuring a high level of animal welfare.

To provide a greater control over animal movement between the IntelliCage and external compartments, like running wheels or metabolic cages, we offer our sophisticated animal gate. Conditionally manage access based on individual animal identification and programmable protocols, streamline your research workflows while minimizing stress on your subjects.
