Social Behavior Insert
The Social Behavior Insert Boxes allow researchers to observe and quantify social interactions within the SuperFlex Open Field System. Designed for 360-degree interaction monitoring, these enclosures ensure accurate tracking of approach behaviors, interaction time, and proximity-based responses.
The Social Insert Boxes provide researchers with a specialized tool for observing and quantifying social interactions within the SuperFlex Open Field System. Designed to facilitate 360-degree monitoring, these inserts allow for precise tracking of social engagement, interaction time, and proximity-based behaviors. This accessory is ideal for behavioral studies focusing on social preference, recognition, and avoidance in rodents.
Key features include transparent polycarbonate construction for clear observation, barred enclosures to prevent escape while maintaining direct interaction, and a climb prevention lid design to restrict climbing and ensure accurate tracking within the sensor field. Integrated with the Fusion Software, researchers can define interaction zones, track approach behavior, and analyze movement patterns using the system’s infrared beam array.
