LOW-COST & MULTI-CHANNEL ACTIVITY MONITORING SYSTEM SUPERMEX PAT.P Introduction Muromachi SUPERMEX is a brand-new epoch-making activity monitoring system that enables researchers to perform a multi-channel measurement for a low cost. Any size home cage may be used unless it intercepts infrared beam in between the sensor and the animal. Each sensor monitors motion in multiple zones of the cage through an array of fresnel lenses from a position up above the cage. So movement in X, Y and Z can be covered. The sensor head consists of paired infrared pyroelectric detectors which measure the radiated body heat of the animal. The sensor's output signals representing magnitude of the animal's movement are digitally converted, stored in the interface memory and transferred to a personal computer. SUPERMEX can be a powerful tool for the assessment of drug efficacy, toxicological tests or for the studies of circadian rhythm by using PYB-003 Sound Attenuating Chamber with power and light-dark cycle control designed exclusively for SUPERMEX. Further, drinking and rearing can be monitored with the optional drinking sensors and rearing sensors, respectively. Forced Swimming test and Tail Suspention Test can also be performed by the use of CompACT FSS software. Further, Place Preference Test ( CPP Test ) can be performed, too using CompACT CPP software.

A variety of animals ranging from small rodents such as mice, rats, marmosets to large animals like dogs, monkeys, pigs etc. can be monitored. Any size home cage may be used unless it intercepts infrared beam in between the sensor and the animal. Drinking and rearing can be monitored with the optional drinking sensors and rearing sensors, respectively along with activity measurement. Forced Swimming test of mouse can be performed by the use of CompACT FSS software. Tail Suspention test of mouse can be performed by the use of CompACT FSS software. Place Preference Test ( CPP Test ) can be performed...

Data Collection/Analysis Software Pulse data sent out from SUPERMEX will be collected and stored with the DI-064W Interface and sent to a personal computer for data analysis. Since all the measurements can be controlled by the DI-064W Interface, a personal computer can be used for another application once the measurement started. Data Collection Program CompACT AMS Ver.3 All the channels can be started at the same time. Each channel can be started separately. Multiple channels can be started by the group. (Up to 32 groups can be registered.) Sampling time can be preset for the range of 1 - 60...
