Rapid screening
of analgesic drugs when a heat stimulus
is applied to the plantar surface of the
animal paw |
|
Digital setting of
the hotplate temperature from 35°C to
60° C in 0.1° steps |
| |
Time recording with
an accuracy of ±0.1 s, maximal test
duration is limited to 3 minutes |
|
| |
Digital
display for recording the measured
values and test control |
| |
Optional Software
Package for data organization and
transfer to Excel |
|
|
| Analgesia Meter Tail Flick
Advanced |
 |
|
Evaluation
of analgesic activity by measuring drug-induced
changes in the sensitivity of small laboratory
animals to a heat stress applied to their
tails |
|
Measuring unit for
directing a focused light beam with a high
proportion of infrared radiation, i.e. heat,
onto the animal's tail |
| |
Digital control unit
with display to show continuously the elapsed
time and the set intensity |
 |
Limitation of the test
time to 60 seconds; the lamp is then switched
off automatically and a warning message
is displayed |
|
Optional Software Package
for data organization and transfer to Excel

| Analgesia Meter Randall Selitto
Advanced |
 |
|
Accurate
screening of analgesic drugs on the normal
and inflamed paw of small laboratory animals,
according to the Randall-Selitto method
|
|
Measuring unit with
force sensor and status LED to indicate
the sensor operating state |
| |
Sensor speed matched
to the conditions at the pressure tip -
quicker sensor speed at first and then,
when touching the paw, a slower speed to
approach the pain threshold in small step
|
|
Setting of a minimum
and maximum force value, if values above
the maximum are reached then the sensor
moves upward automatically |
|
Optional Software Package
for data organization and transfer to Excel

| Power Meter - Incapacitance
Tester |
 |
|
Incapacitance
tester for determination of the weight distribution
on the two hind paws of a small animal to
screen analgesic or anti-inflammatory drug
effects |
|
Measurement of the
applied force via a built-in force transducer
connected to two small contact platforms
|
| |
Available for animals
of rat or mouse size - different types of
restraining cage are available |
|
Production of a force
graph after the test with calculation of
the maximum force for each channel as well
as the average value over the length of
the trial |
|
Powermeter software
for windows for controlling the trial and
for recording and storing the measuring
data (force) |
