Rodent Holders (Panlab)
Panlab Holders for rodents are commonly used in behavioral experiments involving animal contention, immobilization or a limitation of the animal movements/displacements, such as non-invasive blood pressure, tail-flick and startle reflex tests.
- Perpex cylinders
- Sliding doors
- Slot for the tail
- Available in 6 different sizes
Panlab Holders for rodents are commonly used in behavioral experiments involving animal contention, immobilization or a limitation of the animal movements/displacements, such as non-invasive blood pressure, tail-flick and startle reflex tests.
The holders are manufactured from Perspex cylinders mounted on a flat black Perspex base. All the models allow access through both both ends by opening the respective tilting door that is fixed by a screw at the upper part of the restrainer.
Animals can be immobilized by sliding the doors along the restrainer. A slot in the base of the door allows for the whole tail to be available for pulse transducer and cuff installation, IV drug administration or blood extraction.
Specially designed holders for startle reflex experiments are built on an open base allowing animal contact with the grid for delivery of shocks. Additional screws are available for a strong fixation of the holder on the grid to minimize any displacement due to the animal movements during the experiment.
The easy operation and convenient locations of the doors faciliate convenient manipulation of the animals during experiements. This also eliminates the need to drag them back and forth, which in turn protects them from associated foot injuries.
Available in 6 different sizes for all sizes of rat & mouse.
