TSE tail suspension monitoring

Tail Suspension Monitor 悬尾监测 The Tail Suspension Test is conceptually similar to the Porsolt swim test and sensitive to antidepressants. When mice are suspended by their tails, they alternate between agitation and immobility. The cumulative immobility time is a measure of the animal's degree of 'helplessness'.

TSE tail suspension monitoringThe hanging tail experiment is conceptually similar to the Porsolt swimming test and is sensitive to antidepressant drugs. When mice are suspended upside down by their tails, they alternate between swinging and stopping. Accumulated immobility time is a measure of an animal's level of helplessness.

The TSE Tail Suspension Monitor records the animal's movements and transmits the measured values to the TSE Tail Suspension software for Windows. Time of mobility, time of immobility and movement amplitude are calculated for up to 16 channels simultaneously and stored in a results file in user-defined intervals for further statistical calculations.
TSE tail suspension monitoringRecord the movement of animals and transmit measurement values to TSE Tail Suspension Windows software. According to user-defined time intervals, the activity time, stationary time, and movement amplitude of up to 16 channels are simultaneously calculated and stored as a result file, which can be used for further statistical calculations.

A non-computerized semi-automated version with stand-alone control unit that provides the values as digital read-outs is also available.
We also have a non computerized semi-automatic version with an independent control unit that provides digital readout.
