Grip Strength Meter for Mice and Rats - 1

BLOOD PRESSURE RESTRAINERS CATHETERS ANALGESIA BEHAVIORAL/ACTIVITY ANIMAL RESPIRATORS SYRINGE PUMPS TEMPERATURE PROBES Grip Strength Meter for Mice and Rats To a ssess m uscle hyperalgesia this i nstrument measures the forelimb grip force using a digital force transducer. The transducer is connected to a wire mesh g rid connected to an anodized base plate. The animal is held by its tail and is gently passed over the mesh until it grasps the grid with its front paws. Three grip force measures are made and the average of these readings represents the animal's forelimb grip force at that particular time. The last maximum force is held in a "peak& hold" type readout u ntil reset. The unit gives readings i n one gram increments. Both rat and mouse grids are supplied and can be easily exchanged. Maximum force range is 2000 Gr (10% over range allowed). Higher ranges available on special order. The heavy base plate has suction feet to resist even large pulling forces. Both battery and line adapter operation is possible. IITC Inc. Life Science 23924 Victory Blvd Woodland Hills, CA 91367 818 710 8843 fax 818 992 5185 www.iitcinc.com
