Small animal treadmill

Exercise is a multifactorial activity that affects almost every organ and tissue in the body. Exercise not only contributes to many health benefits, but a lack of exercise is also associated with many chronic health problems. As evidence continues to accumulate about the impressive health benefits of exercise, biomedical researchers are increasingly interested in systematically studying exercise to further define these benefits.

Small animal treadmillThe rear is integrated with an electrode module, which can provide mild electric shock when electrical stimulation is needed.

The treadmill consists of a drive module, an electric shock module, and a mouse track. According to the needs, there are two types of tracks to choose from: rat type and mouse type.

The equipment is equipped with automatic cleaning tools and a tray for collecting feces, making it easy to clean.

Small animal treadmillThe mouse track adopts a modular design and is easy to install. It consists of a 7cm high frame and partition, divided into 6 independent channels, each with a size of 45x5.5cm and equipped with a transparent cover plate.

The frame and partition height of the rat runway are 15cm, divided into three independent runways, each with a size of 45x11cm.

The controller module can be used to preset the intensity and frequency of electric shocks, as well as the number of electric shocks.

Integrated speed detection module: detects and records distance, relative distance, and speed.

Speed: from 3 to 100m/min, with a step of 1m/min.

Slope: positive (uphill) or negative (downhill), from -25 ° to+25 °.

Control: 4'3 touch screen.

Detection: Automatically detect speed, distance, and relative distance through integrated circuits.

The data can be copied to the computer through a USB flash drive, and the test results can be more fully displayed in the software.

Users can add information before or after testing.

Connect

The USB connector is used for data exchange and file upgrades, and comes with a USB key.

The D-SUB connector provides TTL signal output for the electric shock status and speed of each runway.

Equipped with additional ports for user use and remote diagnosis.

Detachable chassis, easy to disassemble.
