Product Description

The Rota Rod is designed to test the effects of drugs, brain damage, or diseases on motor coordination and fatigue resistance in rodents. It features a microprocessor-controlled system for precise timing and speed regulation, with options for constant speed or acceleration. Data is recorded automatically and can be saved in table form.

Rota Rod for Motor Coordination, Endurance, and Fatigue Resistance Studies KEY FEATURES • NEW Touchscreen User Interface • Combined Rota Rod for mice and rats available • Mechanical detection of fall • Individual lane timers • Constant speed and fixed acceleration rate modes PARAMETERS MEASURED • Animal latency to fall • Rotation speed when fall occurs COMPONENTS INCLUDED • Rota Rod unit with integrated control panel • Cylinder for mice, rats or both depending on the model • Extension hood for rats (only LE8305, LE8505, and LE8355) • Cables and connectors • Certificate of calibration • Instruction manual • Set of spare fuses • 2 year warranty OPTIONS • SEDACOM software Our Rota Rod provides an easy way to test the effects of drugs, brain damage, or diseases on motor coordination or fatigue resistance in rodents. The animal is placed on the rotating lane of the Rota Rod and the timer is started. When the animal drops safely into its own lane, the time latency to fall (minutes and seconds) and rotation speed are automatically recorded. A removable upper separator for rat models is included to prevent interference between animals running in adjacent lanes. The Rota Rod is controlled by an advanced microprocessor which provides precise timing control and ultra-accurate speed regulation. Rotation can be electronically set at a constant speed (4-40 rpm). Alternatively, acceleration rate may be selected at a defined time (30 sec to 10 min, 1 sec increments). Acquired data is saved in table form by lanes/trials. Now even easier to use! The new touchscreen graphic user interface allows clear visualization of timing and speed for each lane. Change modes, adjust speed, and create protocols right from the main screen for greater flexibility with maximum
