Multi (Four Animal) Accelerating Rota Rod
Features
OverviewThe pcRotaRodIV is designed to conduct sophisticated coordination testing in rodents. It is an accelerating, motor driven apparatus with a grooved rotating cylinder that facilitates the animals grip. The unit is available with both standard fall height of 38cm (mouse), 40cm (rat) or a fall height of 64cm.
The pcRotaRodIV has different experiment types. Constant Speed and Acceleration Profile experiments are both supported by the system. Acceleration Profiles allow for custom designed profiles using an advanced PC based Profile Editor.The system tests up to 4 animals at the same time. Each of the four chambers has its own status indicator, start button, and fall detection.Large groups of animals can be tested (4 at a time) in multi batch mode.The system supports multiple trials for each animal. The rod can spin in both clockwise and Counterclockwise directions. Acceleration profiles can incorporate both clockwise and counterclockwise rotations.
Mouse and Rat Compatible. Easy to use rat adapters converts unit from mouse to rat use. Excel Compatible Result File - the system automatically stores the result of each trial in an exhaustive data file containing the following information: result of the trial, speed of the rod at which the result occurred, time duration of the trial, and trial/batch/subject/profile names. The pcRotaRodIV is provided with a USB port so that its operation can be controlled from a PC (PC is available as an option). This allows experiment design and flow to be created and viewed from the PC, and results are automatically stored. This provides an unprecedented level of flexibility and ease of use to the Rota Rod system.
