AccuPacer Mouse Treadmill

The Omnitech AccuPacer Treadmill is designed for studying exercise-related paradigms such as muscle atrophy, stress, running, and fatigue in animals. It features a belt driven by a DC servomotor for precise speed control, adjustable from 0 to 100 meters per minute, with an optional motorized grade adjuster for incline. Each animal runs in its own separated lane, with individual shock grids for training, and the treadmill uses both negative and positive stimuli to reduce training time. Additional features include independent lanes, waste collection trays, and air-tight runways for optional integration with a metabolic system.

Description

Overview

The Omnitech AccuPacer Treadmill can be used to study muscle atrophy, stress, running, fatigue, and many other exercise paradigms. Each Treadmill has an endless conveyor-type belt, driven by a DC servomotor with optical encoder for precise speed control. The animals are separated from each other by opaque partitions. The motor drive electronics permits the user to select any speed from 0 up to 100 meters per minute. The grade can be adjusted with a motorized grade adjuster. A shock grid is built into each channel, which can be used to train animals to run. The front of the treadmill is made of black acrylic so that the animals runs towards the dark. Thus, the animals are provided with both negative and positive stimuli resulting in a significantly reduced training period.

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.

Activity Wheel

The Activity Wheel is designed to measure voluntary physical activity in rodents, making it an essential tool for research in exercise physiology, motivation, and circadian rhythm regulation. By capturing running behavior in real time, the wheel allows researchers to assess activity patterns, endurance, and daily rhythmicity. Integrated with a magnetic sensor and Fusion Software, it provides precise, automated tracking of wheel revolutions. The standard 6.5” wheel suits mice, with optional sizing for rats or custom needs. An optional Dual Wheel Kit enables simultaneous testing of two animals, supporting high-throughput, behaviorally relevant data collection in a naturalistic and enriched environment.
