Heated Circular Pool/Water Maze (Panlab)
The heated circular pool is classically used for conducting spatial memory studies in rodents (Morris water maze - MWM - test).
This complete solution provides a heater, a water circulation pump, a level controller and an electro valve for filling the pool.
- Complete system, all in one station (water pump, thermostat and tubing all included)
- Control box controlling the water temperature (thermostated between 22-32 degrees Celcius depending of the environmental conditions)
- Easily adaptable platform size depending of the animal size
- Support with 4 wheels for better displacement
- Ideal environment to carry out Morris water maze, swimming test and/or Radial maze studies
- Altantis platform accessory available
The water maze tank is manufactured in polypropylene and stands on a support with 4 wheels for easier displacement. This complete solution provides a heater, a water circulation pump, a level controller and an electro valve for filling the pool. Panlab circular pool provides the ideal environment to carry out the Morris water maze test (MWM test) and aquatic radial maze tests for the study of memory in rodents. The level controller acts directly on the Electro Valve, turning it off when the liquid arrives to the corresponding height. The water temperature is thermostated between 22 and 32 degrees Celcius depending on the environmental room temperature.
A platform support is included for Morris water maze (MWM) test with two easily interchangeable platforms (80 and 110 mm). The platform is loaded and can be located anywhere in the water maze.
Aquatic radial maze accesories are available for aquatic radial maze experiments. In that last case, a removable-radial-arm maze structure (6 or 8 arms) and associated platform can be provided upon request.
The Atlantis platform is also available for a remote control of the availability of the platform (needs the SMART video-tracking software)
Both Morris water maze and aquatic radial mazes can be associated with the SMART Video-Tracking software for the automated detection and analysis of animal displacements and behavior throughout the test.
