Product catalog summary
Overview: This document details Bioseb's innovative instruments for pain research, focusing on the Dynamic Weight Bearing (DWB) and Electronic Von Frey (EVF) systems. These tools assess pain sensitivity and mechanical sensitivity thresholds in rodents without causing stress or requiring restraint.
Main Instruments:
  • Dynamic Weight Bearing (DWB) 2.0: This system measures weight distribution on each of the four paws of rodents to assess pain sensitivity. It features user-friendly software, automatic scoring, high precision force sensors, and video monitoring for real-time analysis.
  • Electronic Von Frey (EVF): This tool determines mechanical pain sensitivity thresholds in rodents. It includes a non-corrosive tip, a lighter stimulator wand, and internal memory for up to 100 values. The EVF5 model has an embedded camera for video monitoring.
Technical Specifications:
  • DWB: Equipped with a 640x480 USB-based camera, available for rats, mice, or both. It provides detailed postural analysis using high precision sensors.
  • EVF: Measures force from 0 to 500 grams with a resolution of 0.1 grams. It includes statistical functions and internal memory, with options for direct and indirect measurement using BIO-CIS software.
Applications: These instruments are used in research domains such as pain (nociception/analgesia), physiology, neurology, tendon and ligament diseases, and vestibular disorders.
Software and Features: Both instruments come with dedicated software to enhance user experience and data accuracy. The DWB software offers a 3-tab interface for settings, experiments, and analysis, while the EVF software provides real-time graphing and data management.
Ordering Information: The DWB is available in three setups for different rodent types, and the EVF offers options for enhanced functionality with embedded video and software integration. Contact details for ordering include phone numbers for North America and Europe, and an email address. More information is available on the Bioseb website.
Domains of Application: The Bioseb Cold/Hot Plate (CHP) is designed for analgesia research, assessing pain sensitivity due to thermal stimulation. It is applicable in studies of neuropathic pain, chronic pain, allodynia/hyperalgesia, neurodegeneration, nerve injury, and mood disorders.
Instrument Overview: The Bioseb CHP tests animal sensitivity to heat or cold, featuring a temperature range of -2°C to 55°C, with an extended range option of -5°C to 65°C. It is noted for its temperature accuracy and uniformity, and it quickly reaches target temperatures. It includes a transparent enclosure, a digital thermometer, and a chronometer.
How Does It Work? The user sets the desired temperature, places the subject on the plate, and starts the chronometer. The reaction time is recorded when the animal shows a nociceptive response. The device can be enhanced with software for programming temperature ramps and loops.
Technical Specifications: The enclosure dimensions are 350 x 170 x 170 mm, and the plate dimensions are 165 x 165 mm. The device weighs 6.7 kg and operates within specified temperature ranges with high accuracy and uniformity.
Highlighted Bibliography: Several studies are referenced, demonstrating the application of the CHP in various research contexts, including pain sensitivity and neuropathic pain.
Dedicated Software: The optional software allows for advanced temperature control, enabling the creation of ramps and loops for precise testing. It includes features for safety and minimizing animal stress.
Additional Tests: The CHP can be used for various tests, including the Two Temperature Choice Test, Thermal Gradient Test, and Jump Test, to evaluate different aspects of animal behavior under thermal stress.

PAIN - MECHANICAL ALLODYNIA / HYPERALGESIA A QUICK & EASY YET POWERFUL ELECTRONIC SOLUTION TO DETERMINE RODENTS' MECHANICAL SENSITIVITY THRESHOLD HOW DOES IT WORK? The electronic model of Von-Frey filament combines ease-of-use and rapidity for the determination of the mechanical sensitivity threshold in rodent. A tip is applied against the central edge of the animal hind paw. Paw withdrawal caused by the stimulation is registered as a response. The corresponding force applied is recorded by the system and displayed on the large backlighted screen of the Von-Frey unit with a resolution of 0.1...
