OPEN FIELD SYSTEMS
* SuperFlex Open Field *
The SuperFlex is a powerful and versatile open field system for tracking animal movement and behavior. It uses a 16x16 infrared grid to monitor animals in standard or custom-sized cages, with recorded data analyzed through Omnitech's Fusion software. This software allows for flexible experiment design, multi-animal tracking, and long-term studies, while generating visual outputs like heat maps and path plots. The system is easy to set up with plug-and-play USB connectivity and can handle up to 32 systems on a single PC, making it ideal for high-throughput research. SuperFlex offers customizable sensor configurations and integrates smoothly with other lab equipment, providing a flexible, scalable solution for behavioral research.
Automated 3-Chamber Social Behavior Box
The Automated Three-Chambered Social Behavior Box is a tool designed for behavioral researchers to monitor and analyze social interactions, preferences, and aversions in subjects, such as rodents. It allows movement tracking between three connected chambers using infrared sensors and features movable dividers for customizable setups. The system can track locomotion and interactions, including vertical movements with optional Z-axis sensors. The design includes magnetic panels for easy stimulus placement and cleaning. It integrates seamlessly with the SuperFlex Open Field System for enhanced tracking and is suitable for both mice and rats, providing detailed analysis of time spent in specific zones.

VersaMax Legacy Open Field
The VersaMax Legacy Open Field – Locomotor Activity system is used for tracking and analyzing animal movement in up to 32 subjects. It includes X-Y sensors (and optional Z sensors), an analyzer, software, and animal chambers, with the flexibility to add options as needed. A key feature is the staggered start time, allowing data collection to begin immediately for each animal without waiting for all to be ready. The system also has diagnostics to check sensor functionality before and after data collection. This product has been replaced by the SuperFlex Open Field system, which offers enhanced features at a lower cost
