ROTARODS
AccuRotor EzRod
The AccuRotor EzRod is a rotarod system designed for testing balance and coordination in mice and rats. It works with Fusion software to set up trials at constant speeds or with variable acceleration. The system automatically stops when a fall is detected by infrared sensors. The Fusion software can manage up to 16 EzRods per computer, allowing researchers to quickly start new tests after a subject falls, making it ideal for high-throughput experiments.
AccuRotor Four Animal Rotarod
The AccuRotor Computerized Rota-Rod is designed for balance and coordination testing in mice and rats, offering features like customizable constant-speed and acceleration trials. It uses a precise DC servo motor for smooth rotation, with speeds ranging from 0.0 to 100.0 RPM, and can handle complex acceleration profiles, including forward/reverse rocking. The system includes fall detection via optical sensors, eliminating issues with mechanical systems, and records trial duration or fall counts. It supports up to four animals simultaneously, with adjustable lanes and easy-to-use software that offers trial customization, real-time data recording, and export to Excel. The system is adaptable for both mice and rats, with removable rat adapters, and provides simple USB connectivity for easy setup.
