A running wheel with adjustable rotation rates and selectable durations. It allows the study of intense physical effort in rodents, modeling intensive sports and their effects on the body Research on muscle fatigue, stress studies Modeling of the sports activity Adjustable rates of motor activity Consequences of physical effort PURPOSE Modelling intense sports activities using rodents, research on muscle fatigue, stress studies, etc. The wheel is controlled by a motor and tachogenerator combination for mice or orther small rodents and is connected to ■ DC for data collection. The wheel turns at a constant, adjustable rate, requiring the animal to exert itself at a consistent and specific daily level. It can also be operated without the motor, allowing the PC to measure the animal’s activity in real time or non-real time, according to the desired sampling method. Programs speed, wheel direction, and rotation rate Real-time monitoring Records animal activity to a file Computer basic configuration. Computer and software delivered ready to use. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Speed: 0 to 25 rotations/minute Forward/reverse directions Programmable ascent and descent slope speed ,f. Dimensions: 30 x 19 x 35 (L x W x H cm) ■ Rotation count using Hall effect probe Power supply: CE 15-V standard charger Connector: RS-232 compliant INTELLIBIO Innovating for laboratories 10 rue de Villers • 54000 Nancy - FRANCE
