Animal Running Wheel Experimental System

Animal Running Wheel Experimental System

The animal running wheel system is designed with a voluntary running wheel system. It relies on the animal's own voluntary initiative to step and push spokes to drive the rotation of the running wheel, with good stability and repeatability. It is suitable for the research of animal physiological rhythm, circulatory rhythm, feeding habits, medicinal or pharmaceutical experiments.

1.     The system is composed of animal cage, running wheel, monitoring transducer and monitoring host computer. A monitoring host computer with a 10-inch touch screen capable of monitoring up to 64 channels running-wheel activities simultaneously. The data can be exported. Optional self-developed monitoring software can be installed .

2.     Parameters Recording: instantaneous velocity, maximum velocity, cumulative movement distance, cumulative movement time, etc., and also recording the activity curve of the animal.

3.     Parameters data from 64 running wheel parameters can be collected in real-time simultaneously up to 30 days ;

4.     The small animal running wheel is made of stainless steel with smooth and stable rotation;

5.     According to user requirements, different sizes of runner wheels can be selected for rats and mice respectively.

6.     In the system, transparent PC material is used for the animal cage, which is easy to be cleaned. Drinking water bottles and trough are provided.

7.     Data output: File in Excel format will be automatically generated and stored in the memory card, which can be output by USB interface; The extracted U disk data is transcribed into the computer by data conversion software.

Optional features

1. Respiratory metabolic function: monitoring oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production and energy metabolism

2. Respiratory monitoring: synchronously monitor the respiratory function of animals

3. X-y-z activity monitoring

4. Weight monitoring

5. Food intake monitoring and water intake monitoring

6. Food and water preference experiment
