Sensory Motor & Coordination NEW Small Animal Treadmill Sensory Motor & Coordination • Small Animal Treadmill key features Treadmills are rolling belts with an adjustable speed and slope, enabling forced exercise training and accurate testing of fatigue in rodents. Different models are available from one to five lanes. These treadmills have an adjustable speed (up to 150 cm/s), slope (from -25 to +25 degrees), and a control unit. The rolling belt is built with specially selected materials to guarantee the best performance under conditions of intensive use and requires minimum maintenance. It is also designed with simplicity for keeping it clean. The lanes have sufficient width for the subject to correct its errors in coordination, thereby allowing an exact measurement of the fatigue without deficiencies in motor coordination. The integrated new touchscreen graphic user interface allows controlling the speed of the belt, the intensity of the stimulus as well as provides a clear visualization of the measured data. The data can be transfered to a computer through the optional SEDACOM software (USB communication). New conditions are available for stopping the session independently in each lane using the following parameters: trial duration, traveled distance, shock received... The electrical shock supplied by the grid is of constant intensity (from 0 to 2 mA), that is, the current which circulates through the animal (and therefore its effect) only depends on the value of the mA chosen and not of the subject (quantity of body mass in contact with the bars, perspiration, etc.) The apparatus can optionally be provided with an air isolated enclosure for respiratory metabolism studies - single lane versions only. Gas analyzer, air supply and switching units as well as software must be purchased separately for use with air tight option. See page 89 for more information on the treadmill option of the OxyletPro system for indirect calorimetry experiments. } New Touchscreen User Interface } Silent operation, even at high speeds } Accurate control of shock intensity } Positive/Negative slope } High performance motor } Easy to clean } Air-puff option for negative stimuli } New stop control conditions parameters measured } Total distance covered } Distance covered at each moment } Accumulated shock time per animal } Number of contacts with the shock grid components included } Treadmill with control unit } Allen key } Cables and connectors } Instruction manual } 2 year warranty options } Air tight lid for calorimetry studies } SEDACOM software (available only on single lane models) 34 www.coulbourn.com • www.panlab.com
